First, here are the number of ratings and the average of those ratings — with so few ratings, though, I wouldn't make too much of the averages, but over time this is going to be incredibly helpful to me as I learn more about which units are proving more successful, which units need improvement, etc. So, 5 is "excellent," 4 is "very good," 3 is "good," 2 is "okay," 1 is "did not enjoy."
European units: 83 total. Here are the results from the first week of the European units. I am really glad people enjoyed these units!

Below are some responses to the comments people made, and I am SO GRATEFUL for all this feedback. Because the comments you make in the Google Form are anonymous, I cannot reply to people individually, and I'm thinking these replies might be of general interest anyway — and you might want to check out my replies to previous comments too. There were not a lot of new types of comments different from previous weeks, but here is what I found specifically for these units:
Brothers Grimm (Librivox). I need to add a note to the Rapunzel story about the origin of the name Rapunzel!
Italian Tales. Someone suggested how it would be fun to create some "compare a story across cultures" units (Three Goslings, Three Little Pigs, etc.), and that is definitely something I hope to do next summer, adding some thematic and comparative unit options to the single-source options that are available right now!
Dante's Inferno. I need to add a map of the Inferno to this unit, along with links to synopses of Purgatory and Paradiso.
