The first storybook I read, The Royal Girls' Room, was the most fascinating storybook I had read. I really enjoyed how the author (Marissa Dutton) put a fun, modern day twist on an ancient story. It was also very relatable because similar to the story, I recall catching up in the bathroom with my friends during the school day when I was in high school. The design of the storybook was very colorful but almost too colorful- the polka dots were somewhat distracting although I did appreciate the bright colors. In moderation, the colors and designs of the storybook would have been less of a distraction.
The next story I read was titled The Heavenly Academy Awards. The title caught my attention because of its modern-day reference to academy awards and the spin on its everyday meaning was very interesting. It was neat to see what supernatural creatures might recognize about one another and what themes commonly occur in epics and mythological tales. The design for the storybook was nothing special, but there was some color which is always nice to break up monotony.
The final storybook I read was Kamaveda, Love Therapist. The title appealed to me because relationships fascinate me and different cultures can have varying views on what a marriage looks like. Seeing such powerful couples with their various issues was interesting to read about because even though the characters have such amazing abilities, they still struggled with their own minor issues that may not have been focused on in their individual epics. The layout on this storybook was nice and simple. It was not distracting but did not exactly add to the storybook either.
In conclusion, I enjoyed each of the storybooks I read and I especially appreciated how they were easily relatable to modern-day life.
