I also really enjoyed how this book also played with various timelines in this story. I just was super impressed with how the plot was created. I also found it intreating that this book was def a 'connor" focused book even thought Alex was always at the heart of this book. This book made me cry and also laugh. I just loved how chris crafted these characters and also this world. I just loved going back to this world! ( ) I really thought this was such a solid conclusion to the series.

I just loved how chris crafted these characters and also this world. I just loved going back to this world! So, I have finally finished the sixth and final book in Chris Colfer's Land of Stories series of kids' books. I'm a little sorry to see it go, as I ended up enjoying it much more than I thought I would at the very beginning. Although, that having been said, I didn't think this was one of the best books in the series. There's a little too much of characters explaining the story thus far too each other, and an ending that, after lots and lots of action, finally gets wrapped up in a manner that's just a little too quick and deus ex machina-y. Plus, as the title indicates, in this one the fairy tale and real worlds are coming together, and I'm afraid the plot silliness that works so well in Colfer's imagined fairy tale world is a bit harder to accept when he's writing something a little closer to home. But, honestly, that's probably far too much dwelling on the negative! Because even if this wasn't quite as enjoyable as the previous couple of volumes, it was still entertaining and had a fair number of moments that made me laugh out loud. It also briefly revisits one storyline from earlier in a way that I wasn't expecting, but which I quite liked, and has some decent and good-hearted themes. So, even if maybe it could have ended a little stronger than it did, I still do recommend the series for kids, and for adults who occasionally like to pretend to be kids again. Rating: I'm going to stingily give this volume a 3.5/5, but the series as a whole is still a solid 4/5. Oh my gosh, I can't believe this series is over! It's been such a huge part of my childhood, and now it's done! My emotions are a mess! I feel like I sort of outgrew this series a bit, which is why I waited so long to read this, but I still really liked it. And I just... I don't even know how to deal with the fact that this is over. It feels sort of surreal. PLOT So obviously, with this being the sixth and final book in the series, there was A LOT going on plot wise. I can't say much of course, because spoilers, but I liked the plot of this. I felt it tied up all the threads nicely, and I was satisfied with the ending. Thank goodness, because I was sort of concerned going in... There was one thing that sort of annoyed me, and... I'm not quite sure if counts as a spoiler or not, (It's in THE FIRST chapter) but my friends told me, and I was mad about that, so I'm going to put it into spoiler tags anyway. SETTING I love love LOVE the setting in this series, but this book was a little bit disappointing, because it took place almost entirely in New York... I love the fairy tale world in this, and some of the other places they go (If you've read the other books, you know where I'm talking about), but New York was a tiny bit boring to read about. I mean, it was still interesting, but I would have been far more pleased if they'd spent more time in the fairy tale world. CHARACTERS The characters are what I love in these books! They are so rich, and HILARIOUS, and I just adore them! Every single one of them cracks me up at some point or another, and most of them do it frequently. Almost all of my favourites were in this last one, and oh my gosh, they are FUNNY! That seems to be all I have to say about the characters right now... they're funny, although truly there are amazing characters, and well developed, and all that, but apparently all I really care about is that they're funny. OVER ALL This was a satisfying end to the series, (Although I still can't quite believe it's over...), and even though this series is a bit on the younger side, it's always going to have a special place in my heart. I highly enjoyed this, and I think this will always remain one of my favourite series. no reviews | add a review
