The Land Of Stories: A Grimm Warning

This is the 3rd book in the series “Land of

Stories”. This book is one of my favorite

books in the series since this is when

things start to drastically change for the

main characters in the book. The first two

books' main purposes are to set the scene

and enable the reader to emerge into the

world of the stories. This book is what

starts to set the theme for how the rest of

The Land of Stories: Wishing Spell is a book about

two twin siblings who get stuck in the book of

fairytales provided by their grandmother. The

book takes us through their journey as they

explore the new world and face completely unknown

dangers of the book. I highly recommend this book

for young kids, especially those in middle school

since that is the age of the characters in the

book. Personally, this is one of my favorite

A beautiful story, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab takes you away to a new

world--one where a girl named Addie makes a deal with the “devil”. The book takes you on an

adventure as Addie tells her story of how she lives to hundreds of years old, experiencing wars,

corruption, and success--and finds love within it. Schwab’s writing style of building off of mainly

flashbacks draws readers tightly into the story, with its ups and downs and chapters full of

Aurelia

Star Rating
★★★★

I can't believe I waited so long to read this teenage romance. This is a fantastic high fantasy about a teenage girl, but you can tell this is the author's debut book. I have confidence Osterlund will do wonderful things with the rest of this trilogy. I had a great time reading the fast-paced story. I want to see what she can do with the romantic tone when she has a little time under her belt.

I adore the character Aurelia. She is the type of woman of steel I always imagined a princess would be. Her blended family situation came across cleanly, with just a little violence.
