But with lots of running and an enchanted London lion involved.Ī Potter fan will be keen to spot some Rowling influences in Colfer’s worldbuilding, such as the magic mirrors (used for communication and a bit like inter-dimensional FaceTime) and Hall of Dreams (that sometimes pop.) I love all these little winks and nods to the childhood literature that informed a generation of imaginations.
TLOS3 is full of insight and keen eyed observations of the beautiful sites important to the brothers Grimm, through castle strewn Germany and a trip to London to do some literary digging I felt like a tourist on a grand day out. With sharper descriptions, a pacy and original plot and a crash course in fairytale history, his readers will not be disappointed.
Full of surprises, secrets, and sorcery, the series is perfect for fans of fairy tales with a twist. This review contains minor spoilers.Ĭolfer’s writing is hugely enjoyable, and his third outing as author of The Land of Stories is his best venture yet. With a little help from some friends along the way, he must race through time and across dimensions to warn his twin sister Alex that the Fairy Kingdom is in grave danger. Published today, Chris Colfer’s third installment of his magical The Land of Stories series comes with a Grimm Warning! Now age 14 and stuck living in the Otherworld, Conner Bailey must navigate across the globe to decipher a clue left from the world’s most famous storytellers.
