When the newly married couple take a short honeymoon in Valentine’s Town, they discover the queen of that realm is every inch the graceful, beautiful and regal monarch that a holiday town deserves. They demand that she stand up straight and be graceful as a queenly queen of the night ought to. The vampires and witches of her cobwebby realm expect her to act and dress differently. She doesn’t feel much like a queen, but after marrying her truest of loves, Jack Skellington, she is indeed one of only two royals in the land. In the comments, let me know your favorite Tim Burton film! Mine has to either be ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ or ‘Corpse Bride’.Sally the living ragdoll is now queen of Halloween Town. It takes the reading experience to the next level. I would 100% recommend the audiobook, because the voices are nearly identical to the ones in the movie. Overall, the book isn’t amazing, and something felt kind of ridiculous, yet I loved it! Honestly, if you have any love for ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, you need this book on your TBR. Shea Ernshaw captured the essence of Tim Burton’s film perfectly. The other characters in the book were great! Jack and Zero were so similar to their movie counterparts. Especially since the Sandman is such an interesting fantasy character. Also, the addition of the Sandman as an evil character was a nice touch. The book takes our rag doll protagonist on a journey of self discovery, and I liked seeing her come into her own. And I’m certain I will never again be as happy as I am right now.” She would do anything for the monsters that lived there. Sally, despite her life before Jack, loved her home of Halloweentown. I liked that the author showed that family is more than blood. So, it takes retelling to the max.Īll I can say is that love and family are very important aspects in this story. The author literally flips the script on Sally’s whole backstory. I don’t want spoil too much, but Sally’s discovery of something life changing was kind of cheesy in my opinion.
However, through this story, we discover, along with Sally herself, that she is strong, smart, and not simply a creation. All we learned about her in the movie was that she was in with love with Jack, and created by the Professor. It was interesting getting to know Sally a bit more. This time around, we follow Sally as she struggles to come to terms with her new role as the Pumpkin Queen. If you are a lover of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, but have been dying for another story with these characters, then this book is for you. This delightful return to The Nightmare Before Christmas universe is sure to appeal to fans old and new. Nightmare Before Christmas fans rejoice! Long Live the Pumpkin Queen picks up where the beloved film left off, with Sally in her new role as the Queen of Halloween Town.
