If you’ve read
my review of A Tale Dark & Grimm, I got really annoyed by the interruption
of the narrator. Here, maybe because I expected it, I actually liked it. This
book was just so much fun to read! I liked it better than the first one. This book
simply got me hooked form the beginning, and I read it in one sitting, unable
to put it down. That’s a lot better than the first book, which I found painful
to read. Here, it was just fun and entertaining. What a 180 from the first one.
Maybe it’s
because the story ends up being a little more positive, a little less gory.
Maybe it’s because I knew what to expect, or maybe I was just in a better mood.
This book will please fan of fairy tales, those of us always curious to see
where authors will take the stories we grew up with. Some of the stories used
here weren’t tales I really knew well, and I liked that about it. It was nice
to see these tales being modified; being connected with others to create the
crazy story of Jack and Jill.
The humor really
worked better for me in this one, or at least for me. It didn’t feel like I was
stopping every time I started reading one of the narrator’s interruptions.
Instead, it just went with the flow, leaving me wanting more at every pages.
This was really one of my Middle Grade love this year, and I’m really wondering
if I should reread A Tale Dark & Grimm, to see if my opinion would change
now that I know what to expect. Short and sweet people!!
