The Land Of Stories #1: The Wishing Spell
/ Chris Colfer
I know my photos aren't quality. I'm just not as good a photographer as a reader :p
Land of Stories revolves around a pair of twins, Alex & Conner Bailey who grew up loving fairytales, thanks to the stories their grandmother and father were always telling them, be it before bedtime or when they're upset and need some advice.
On their twelfth birthday, which was really miserable for them due to circumstances, their grandmother gifted them her favourite fairytale book called The Land Of Stories. Of course magical things happen, right?
This book didn't have many amazing reviews, and in fact there were a number of negative ones, but honestly, I really enjoyed it! I'm really surprised myself, because I hadn't thought I would love it soooo much. I practically flew through it.
I loved the way everything was woven around together, how everyone and everything were connected. I enjoyed seeing the way some known characters from stories that I know appeared. I loved the fairytale world and all the characters, how they were made and played around with by the author.
I loved Alex to be honest, even though to others she would have seemed annoying. I loved the way she was fangirling over all the fairytale characters whom she was meeting in the flesh. Wouldn't we all know how she felt? ;)
Sure there were quite a few flaws here and there, but this is a middle grade book, and I as a child would not have noticed these tiny holes so I just closed an eye. And that is how I loved this book so much.
Unfortunately for me most Popular bookstores didn't have books 2 & 3 anymore so I had to go Kinokuniya instead. That's just how much I really wanted to continue on with this series :-)
