I can't believe that there was more than one book to the new series and when this one came out I was very intrigued by the cover art。 Chris Colfer weaves another good story by making twists and turns that are only partially expected。 If you loved the land of stories and "A Tale Of Magic" then this book is definitely for you。 I can't believe that there was more than one book to the new series and when this one came out I was very intrigued by the cover art。 Chris Colfer weaves another good story by making twists and turns that are only partially expected。 If you loved the land of stories and "A Tale Of Magic" then this book is definitely for you。 。。。more

i basically wrote a full， thought-out essay for the first book so I'll keep this short:-bad mental health rep u cant just "think happy thoughts" and solve all ur depression， its awful to give ppl， esp KIDS （this is mg）， mentally ill heroes then say "WHOOPS！ it was actually a curse， shes too STRONG and KIND to ever succumb to something like DEPRESSION， thats for BAD people"， i legit almost cried because of that and im older than the target audience-The characters and humor were better bc we spent i basically wrote a full， thought-out essay for the first book so I'll keep this short:-bad mental health rep u cant just "think happy thoughts" and solve all ur depression， its awful to give ppl， esp KIDS （this is mg）， mentally ill heroes then say "WHOOPS！ it was actually a curse， shes too STRONG and KIND to ever succumb to something like DEPRESSION， thats for BAD people"， i legit almost cried because of that and im older than the target audience-The characters and humor were better bc we spent lots of time in Lucy's head & with the witches-the writing and worldbuilding still suckthe romance was gutsy tho， the prince dude is my favourite， i dont care if （view spoiler）[he's evil （hide spoiler）]， i would have joined him bc im not a coward-marginally better than the first-2 stars-if i ever read something else in the series its not me， ive been replaced by aliens-thank u and good day 。。。more

Brystal tiene mucho peso en sus hombros， y está teniendo pe sarmientos pesimistas que sólo la reprimen。The Righteous Brotherhood， lo leí en inglés y no se como se traduzca pero me imagino que es La Gran Hermandad， o algo así， solo lo complican más。Pero no dejen que el libro los engañe， fui traicionada con un tremendo giro en la trama que te llega completamente por la espalda。Yo le di 4 estrellas porque al final pensé que tendría más acción pero eso no le quita que es un tremendo libro。

I found this book to be kind of dull， compared to the Land of Stories a lot of action is building up and happening constantly。 I think this carried on a bit too long without a lot of suspense/action。 I really enjoy finding out about the Fairy Godmother before Connor and Alex though。

#MERLINREADATHON FRHonnêtement， je ne sais pas quoi vous dire。 Chris Colfer réussit non seulement à écrire magnifiquement bien。 Mais également à incorporer des sujets importants （dépression par exemple） à son histoire。 La seule raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas mis 5*; c'est uniquement parce qu'il y avait quelque chose de vraiment très prévisible， et j'en ai été déçue。 Outre ça， c'est un réel coup de coeur。 J'aime beaucoup les personnages。 Avec un petit attachement particulier à Lucy ！ Je vous re #MERLINREADATHON FRHonnêtement， je ne sais pas quoi vous dire。 Chris Colfer réussit non seulement à écrire magnifiquement bien。 Mais également à incorporer des sujets importants （dépression par exemple） à son histoire。 La seule raison pour laquelle je n'ai pas mis 5*; c'est uniquement parce qu'il y avait quelque chose de vraiment très prévisible， et j'en ai été déçue。 Outre ça， c'est un réel coup de coeur。 J'aime beaucoup les personnages。 Avec un petit attachement particulier à Lucy ！ Je vous recommande largement ces livres ！ ENGHonestly， I don't know what to tell you。Chris Colfer not only manages to write beautifully。 But also to incorporate important subjects （depression for example） in his books。The only reason I didn't put 5*; it's only because there was something really very predictable， and I was disappointed。Besides that， it's a real crush。 I really like the characters。 With a special little attachment to Lucy ！I highly recommend these books ！ 。。。more

I think I'm a little too old for these books but I still love it purely out of nostalgia and Chris Colfer。。。 even though some of the lines are cheesy I still think it has a great message and I'm happy books like these exist for kids because everything that is discussed in Chris Colfer's books are so important and I'm glad to know that they have his books to turn to and learn from。 I think I'm a little too old for these books but I still love it purely out of nostalgia and Chris Colfer。。。 even though some of the lines are cheesy I still think it has a great message and I'm happy books like these exist for kids because everything that is discussed in Chris Colfer's books are so important and I'm glad to know that they have his books to turn to and learn from。 。。。more

This was truly good the plot was a 10/10 I was honestly not excepting it to turn that way AT ALL。 I spent such a good time reading this， adding some darkness to this book serie was one of the best idea Chris Colfer ever made。 The cover is amazing， I love the characters and the easter egg too were so cool！ Anyway， READ THIS BOOK ASAP！！ PS: Lucy is such a baddas。✨

No spoilers here！！ TLDR: If you’re over 12， don’t read this。 The writing quality is awful and juvenile and wasn’t worth it for the plot。 I used to love the Land of Stories books back in elementary school， and now I know why。 They are definitely written for a young reader。 I guess I never noticed it before because I WAS a young reader， but now I finally see all the things I missed。 For example: - Way too many exclamation points （Don’t ask me why， but if there is more than one in a book， I see it No spoilers here！！ TLDR: If you’re over 12， don’t read this。 The writing quality is awful and juvenile and wasn’t worth it for the plot。 I used to love the Land of Stories books back in elementary school， and now I know why。 They are definitely written for a young reader。 I guess I never noticed it before because I WAS a young reader， but now I finally see all the things I missed。 For example: - Way too many exclamation points （Don’t ask me why， but if there is more than one in a book， I see it as poorly written。 Every other sentence in the book ends with an exclamation point。） - Half of the book was in italics or uppercase （If you can’t emphasize how a character is delivering a line or the importance of a piece of information without italics or caps lock， you need to rewrite it。） - Shallow symbolism （There was nothing to read into， no lines to read between。 Either the symbolism was so obvious， the author practically stated it， or it really was stated。） - Odd dialogue （Everything was so unrealistic。 No one speaks like how any of the characters spoke。）- Poor ending （It ended on what was supposed to be a cliffhanger， but what happens after is so obvious that it’s pointless and frankly it would have felt more complete with a legitimate cliffhanger。）Basically if you’re 13 or older， don’t read this。 It’s not worth it， simply for how poorly written and childish it is。 。。。more
