This was cute， a fun little wrap up on the series。 But also had some cool insights from Chris。 Nothing super noteworthy， but worth a look if you’ve enjoyed the series！

Milý průvodce Zemí příběhů， který mi připomněl všechna dobrodružství， která čtenář s dvojčaty a dalšími postavami prožil。 Kromě popisů postav a míst se v knize nachází i bonusové kapitoly nebo první nákresy obálek od samotného Chrise。 Pro doplnění informací ze Země příběhů je tento průvodce určitě fajn zdroj。💛

I loved this book， it was an amazing insiders view of what the authors thought process was when he wrote the book series， how he thought the characters looked in his mind， and back stories from other characters point of view。

THIS WAS AMAZING！！！！ I loved the part where MG interviews the author， and I just loved the extra stories and everything！！！！！ It was really cool to see where the inspiration for everything came from， especially Mother Goose， and it was just fantastic。

Haven't actually finished the series yet but I already know I don't want to read this。 Apparently it doesn't give much new content about the stories， there's no information or context about the bonus chapters and Chris explaining how and why his characters were created isn't something that interests me。 The author's creative process and writing tips also have no relevance for me since I have no desire to write。 I got a copy from the library and after flipping through it， saw that it was mainly i Haven't actually finished the series yet but I already know I don't want to read this。 Apparently it doesn't give much new content about the stories， there's no information or context about the bonus chapters and Chris explaining how and why his characters were created isn't something that interests me。 The author's creative process and writing tips also have no relevance for me since I have no desire to write。 I got a copy from the library and after flipping through it， saw that it was mainly illustrations with barely any text。 Seeing the sketches before they became the finished covers was cool and the fan artwork was great， but not something that I'd consider to be essential。 。。。more

A compelling sneak peek into Chris Colfer's best-kept secrets surrounding his dazzling world of fairies & witches。 This book brought out the book hugger side of me as I sped through a complete guide of Alex & Conner's world （Along with some words from the author himself。） A compelling sneak peek into Chris Colfer's best-kept secrets surrounding his dazzling world of fairies & witches。 This book brought out the book hugger side of me as I sped through a complete guide of Alex & Conner's world （Along with some words from the author himself。） 。。。more

Book Hugger’s GuideThis is the last book to read in The Land of Stories series。 It has tons of spoilers in it by the authors。 It also explains how he came up with the idea when he was child， some of his original illustrations and some fan art。

I recommend this book to any fans of the Land of Stories Series。 It is not necessary to read this book but it is certainly interesting。 It includes character drawings， bonus chapters， information on all the places in the Land of Stories and the kingdoms beyond， and let's not forget the hilarious interview with Chris Colfer and Mother Goose！ I recommend this book to any fans of the Land of Stories Series。 It is not necessary to read this book but it is certainly interesting。 It includes character drawings， bonus chapters， information on all the places in the Land of Stories and the kingdoms beyond， and let's not forget the hilarious interview with Chris Colfer and Mother Goose！ 。。。more

Tato kniha vás provede pohádkovým světem， postavami z Mimosvěta i dalších dimenzí za pár hodin。 Ukáže vám zákoutí a tajemství autorovy tvorby。 Jeho inspiraci k postavám a na konci se dozvíte， jak začít sám psát。V knize najdete stovky nádherných a propracovaných ilustrací， které se mně moc líbily。 Zde je shrnuto snad všechno， co si potřebujete přečíst hned po celé sérii。 Občas tam byly i nudné pasáže， které ale hned vystřídaly zábavné a zajímavé úryvky。 Celkově se mi kniha líbila， četla se rychle Tato kniha vás provede pohádkovým světem， postavami z Mimosvěta i dalších dimenzí za pár hodin。 Ukáže vám zákoutí a tajemství autorovy tvorby。 Jeho inspiraci k postavám a na konci se dozvíte， jak začít sám psát。V knize najdete stovky nádherných a propracovaných ilustrací， které se mně moc líbily。 Zde je shrnuto snad všechno， co si potřebujete přečíst hned po celé sérii。 Občas tam byly i nudné pasáže， které ale hned vystřídaly zábavné a zajímavé úryvky。 Celkově se mi kniha líbila， četla se rychle a bylo skvělé se dozvědět víc věcí jak z autorova života， tak z toho "vymyšleného" （😉）。 Hodnocení: 4🌟/5🌟 。。。more

This book is must have for this serie of books。I think its nice end and autor did great job。I recommend read it not right after the land of stories。 Wait a little while。 It is worth it。

This book was filled with so many behind the scenes and Land of Stories secrets that you wouldn't know about from just reading the series。 My favorite part was the 2nd half of the book which gave great explanations of Chris Colfer's journey through writing the series as well as his art and fan art！ Since I have been a big fan of Chris and his books for the past 7ish years， this book was truly a treasure。 :） This book was filled with so many behind the scenes and Land of Stories secrets that you wouldn't know about from just reading the series。 My favorite part was the 2nd half of the book which gave great explanations of Chris Colfer's journey through writing the series as well as his art and fan art！ Since I have been a big fan of Chris and his books for the past 7ish years， this book was truly a treasure。 :） 。。。more

Nunca pensé que iba disfrutar tanto de una GUIA pero quedé completamente enamorado de todos los extras que hay en este libro sobre el mundo de TLOS。 Todo las curiosidades de personajes， capítulos extras y todo lo que nos cuenta Chris sobre su vida como escritor。Es un libro perfecto de principio a fin y supero las expectativas que le tenía。 Además de dejarme súper feliz y con un sentimiento muy optimista del mundo y la mirada hacia el。 Lo leí en inglés y es de los primeros libros que leo en su id Nunca pensé que iba disfrutar tanto de una GUIA pero quedé completamente enamorado de todos los extras que hay en este libro sobre el mundo de TLOS。 Todo las curiosidades de personajes， capítulos extras y todo lo que nos cuenta Chris sobre su vida como escritor。Es un libro perfecto de principio a fin y supero las expectativas que le tenía。 Además de dejarme súper feliz y con un sentimiento muy optimista del mundo y la mirada hacia el。 Lo leí en inglés y es de los primeros libros que leo en su idioma original y que la mayoría del tiempo no fue necesario el diccionario y que más que nada lo uses con palabras muy exactas que no entendía pero de igual forma leyendo la frase o párrafo completo se sacaba por contexto。 Sin duda muy recomendado para fans de TLOS y si quieren empezar a leer en inglés es un buen inicio。 。。。more

Chris Colfer began writing the Land of Stories as a kid， eventually becoming a New York Times Best-Selling author。 This book is a really cool and engaging explanation and exploration into all of the major protagonists， plots， locations， villains and objects found in each of the books。 The other cool part includes Chris's own writing tips， and a bit of a humor thrown in， told by an impromptu interview with the author。 The really intriguing parts of the book （something I would love to see all of m Chris Colfer began writing the Land of Stories as a kid， eventually becoming a New York Times Best-Selling author。 This book is a really cool and engaging explanation and exploration into all of the major protagonists， plots， locations， villains and objects found in each of the books。 The other cool part includes Chris's own writing tips， and a bit of a humor thrown in， told by an impromptu interview with the author。 The really intriguing parts of the book （something I would love to see all of my favorite authors do）， is showcase their inspiration for the characters and how Chris's long-standing love of fairytales and storybooks， as well as a supportive teacher and grandma， helped shape the Land of Stories' saga into what it is。 Told with lots of colorful personal drawings by Colfer， his professional cover artist， Brandon Dorman， fan art from Book Huggers around the United States， this book is a delight for every aspiring writer and bookworm。 。。。more

The Land of Stories was the original series that got me into reading， and getting a visual and idea of how Chris Colfer imagined and pictured the characters， setting and story。 I loved looking at the pictures and hearing his story。 This book was amazing and gave me a view into the magic the series has to offer and just how fantastic fairy tales truly are。

The parts up until the interview dragged on too long for me; because the first part is essentially a bio on all the characters。 There is nothing in the character descriptions that is not already covered in the books。 If there was any original content， I would have given the book an extra star。 But everything from the interview onward was a thrill to read。 Chris's views and insights into the series and writing in general was very captivating and his encouraging messages to the readers are thought The parts up until the interview dragged on too long for me; because the first part is essentially a bio on all the characters。 There is nothing in the character descriptions that is not already covered in the books。 If there was any original content， I would have given the book an extra star。 But everything from the interview onward was a thrill to read。 Chris's views and insights into the series and writing in general was very captivating and his encouraging messages to the readers are thought-provoking。 But that interview was something else。 It was witty and funny and it was sweet of Colfer to include fans' artwork。 On top of being a very good writer， singer and actor， Colfer is also a talented artist。 This book isn't really worth reading unless you're a die-hard Land of Stories fan。 。。。more

Don't worry guys- I didn't actually take a whole month to read this book lol。 I have been stuck reading jane Eyre but ANYWAY I really liked this book！ At first when I saw it I thought it would just be a character encyclopedia which would still be cool but I didn't realised how detailed it was！ From secrets of BTS and extra short stories， I found this book highly entertaining and something nice to put a smile on my face after reading the depressing stories of Jane！ Don't worry guys- I didn't actually take a whole month to read this book lol。 I have been stuck reading jane Eyre but ANYWAY I really liked this book！ At first when I saw it I thought it would just be a character encyclopedia which would still be cool but I didn't realised how detailed it was！ From secrets of BTS and extra short stories， I found this book highly entertaining and something nice to put a smile on my face after reading the depressing stories of Jane！ 。。。more

This is definitely a bit of a marketing gimmick， but it is very enjoyable。 I particularly liked the character profiles and Colfer's inspirations for them， and the fan art。 I disagreed with some of the character trademarks--Jack's， for instance， is bravery。 He certainly is brave， but I'd say his main characteristic is humility。 Colfer himself writes that Jack never tries to dominate situations or exalt himself。 I love Dorman's artwork for the series， but I have always hated the Fairy Godmother's This is definitely a bit of a marketing gimmick， but it is very enjoyable。 I particularly liked the character profiles and Colfer's inspirations for them， and the fan art。 I disagreed with some of the character trademarks--Jack's， for instance， is bravery。 He certainly is brave， but I'd say his main characteristic is humility。 Colfer himself writes that Jack never tries to dominate situations or exalt himself。 I love Dorman's artwork for the series， but I have always hated the Fairy Godmother's portrayal。 She looks hokey and glitzy instead of elegant and wise， which does not match her description in the books。 Colfer is a bit cocky， but I love his books and hope he keeps going！ I enjoyed reading about LOS from his perspective。 。。。more
