Sisters Grimm: The Everafter War
By: Brandon Atkins
The Sisters Grimm is a continuation about a mysterious family that ties in with their ancestors the Brothers Grimm which causes many problems in the present day in a small town called Ferryport Landing. This story has many plots and therefore has many stories and twists. This book has many main characters, but the ones that this story revolves around are the Grimm family. The family consists of Sabrina Grimm the oldest sister, Daphne Grimm the youngest sister, Henry Grimm the father of the two girls, Veronica Grimm the mother of the two girls, “Granny” Relda Grimm the grandmother of the two girls and the mother of Henry Grimm. Other important characters in this story include Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf/Mr.Canis, Three Little Pigs, and The Queen of Hearts. There are many other characters in this book that are important but will not be listed. Another detail about this is that all the characters are story book characters and they are all called Everafters because they all lived happily ever after, and they never grow old.
I personally liked this book because it finally brings together many loose ends that were brought up in the previous books in the continuation. The book has a lot to do with family itself and it really clears up what was not clear in the other books. This book is like a long road to success because no matter how bad the girls problems are try they still have something to look forward to in the show more end. A great example of this was when the girls were finally reunited with their parents in this book. Their parents had been locked away in a long deep sleep so the parents were unable to wake up, but after all there hard efforts they finally woke up and the parents and children were reunited after two long years.
In the book, what I hated the most was the false feeling of losing. An example of this is when all hope was lost and Mr. Canis was about to die on trial and then the Big Bad Wolf finally took over Mr.Canis’s body and he completely broke free of the chains retraining him and ran away, but after that it seemed like the Big Bad Wolf was completely evil and that there was no more good from Mr.Canis inside of him, but in the end Mr.Canis returned to his former self. Mr. Canis had been fighting the Big Bad Wolf from within himself for the past 3,000 years ever since the story of Little Red Riding Hood began. The setting in this book takes place in Ferryport Landing, New York and Paris, France and other various places throughout New York.
In my opinion the book had two themes. One of the themes was to never give up. A great example of this was when the Child Care Services woman Ms. Smirt had come back to take away Daphne and Sabrina Grimm away from Relda Grimm and take them aboard a train and take them away to another foster parent. The girls had tried everything to get away but they never gave up and eventually hey made it off the train because of their persistence. Another theme in this story is to follow your heart no matter where it takes you. An example of this is when Sabrina had been struggling between doing the right thing. She had been struggling because she had been going through a tough time and when she finally listened to her heart she did the right thing and saved the family right in the nick of time.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, and story book characters playing present day roles. This book is for anyone twelve and up. This book is a great young adult reader for those who just want to relive the old story book characters except more grown up. This was great read to read and I liked it. show less
