Mary Mary Quite Contrary ( A Grimm Diaries Prequel #5 ) (5 page)

a) A woman who could
burst out of a mirror and harm others always seems scarier than any demon I
have ever heard of, especially when she needs you to dare calling her yourself.
The idea a has certain magic to it that is indescribable in words. Imagine if a
characters you root for needs to summon her to collect something he needs from
her and will have to live with consequences of setting her free. It's also known
that ancient civilizations be believed in trapping demons in the mirror. We
still do.

b) I have always scratched
my head, wanting to know who it was in the mirror that the Evil Queen talked
to. What was the mirror's origin? No retelling or interpretation really
satisfied my need to know. We are talking about a mirror that can talk,
insinuate hatred and envy in the heart of the queen enough to make want to kill
her daughter, and is purely malicious more than the queen herself. Accepting
that this was the queen's reflection or just her inner dark Shadow ( like Freud
and Carl Young would suggest ) didn't do it for me. The phrase, ‘Mirror Mirror
on the wall’ and ‘Mary Mary on the wall’ are two sentences that have always
sounded the same in my ears. And I claim that this is an original take that
hasn’t been done before

10) If you go back to
read the last sentences in Snow White Blood Red, you’ll find out that Mary’s
story has been hinted to long ago. There is a sentence where the Queen of
Sorrow almost describes Mary in the mirror without uttering her name, but only
mentioning that she is ugly and scares her. I am not bragging. I am just trying
to convince that you are in safe hands in matter of story telling and plotting.
( and again, I am braggin’ a little )

11) I got email asking
who they should root for in the series, since all fairy tale characters seem to
have serious issues. Don’t worry, there characters who you will root for.
There’s just a little twist coming soon that will let us know why some of the
characters behave like that, and what their bigger motives are.

12) I’d like to thank
Danielle Littig for the awesome editing work, and my beta readers who helped
make this prequel better with their suggestions and saved me from embarrassing
mistakes.
