My Reveiw
Evil fairy tales and a hero who’s job it is to rid the world of them. Can you think of a cooler story? I can’t! I love fairy tales, all and any variation of fairy tales. Alice comes into her role of hero quite accidentally when she goes down to the basement of the library where she volunteers. She finds herself paired up with Briar Rabbit as her knowledgable and trusty sidekick. Alice is sassy, smart and strong and I loved her character. Briar is kind and comical and makes the perfect sidekick and helper for Alice. The first three volumes in this book move quickly and there’s not a lot of fluff or wasted words. This book made me curious again about the old fairy tales so of course I had to go and download the Grimm’s Fairy Tales lol. I’m very excited to see the next volumes of this story and I can’t wait to see what comes next!!
