The Land of Stories #3
A Grimm Warning changed the pace for the series is a new and interesting way. I enjoyed getting to see the twins working and growing on their own, before seeing them thrust back together by dangerous foes. This is the first time that we see them adventuring separately and it created a great new dynamic. We’re starting to see the leaders that each of the twins can grow up to be, and that is exciting!
It was nice to get to explore a little bit more of “the otherworld” and the unexpectedly magical things Conner finds within. Since nearly all of the previous stories took place within the “Land of Stories” it was nice to go on an adventure back home too. I really enjoyed the introduction of some new characters from the mortal realm, especially Bree. I was disappointed, however, in the way that Bree seemed to disappear from the story for the second half. I wanted to continue to see her interactions with Conner (and would have liked to see some more interactions between her and Alex as well).
I also wished that we could have seen Alex struggle a bit more with her new found magic. She just seemed to already have mastered it and I wish we could have seen a bit more of that journey. And I really feel that we were missing the fallout of Conner’s disappearance in Germany (and Bree and Emmerich’s for that matter). I mean, the kids have been presumably missing for over a month; no parents are that understanding.
Overall a great addition to the series. I was glad to see that the style and plot line was changed up a bit from the first two. The ending leaves us with new questions that I look forward to exploring in the coming books.
