There definitely is an art to the summaries written on the backs of books, I think. I especially wonder how the people who write the ones for harlequin romances can do so without cracking up. XD
Using the summaries as a way to plan out where your story is going is a really interesting idea. It doesn't have to be super specific, but even the examples you've shown give a lot of information about the story and the directions they could be headed.
By the way, I would love to read Ever After. I am very amused. And the Five Kings novels sound like every pre-teen novel rolled up into one gloriously cracktastic package. XD
The titles of said novels can be of cracky beauty too. XD People always ask me why I go over to read the titles and summaries. They just don't see how hilarious they are.
I would imagine it would be. If anything, it would be enough to ignite your memory if you ever went back to it.
To be honest, I sort of hope so. It sounds like a lot of fun.
My ladies I work with don't understand why I sometimes start giggling when checking in the paperbacks. "Seduction of the Wolf." This is a thing that exists.

Right! I dunno, I find it helpful, anyway.
I might go back to Ever After someday, if I can get myself interested in the characters. XD That was the idea.

Yup!
Maybe one day. Or I'll let you adopt it.
