To start this off, I absolutely loved this book, it's now one of my favorites ever. I’ve read the
entire shatter me series and this is by far my favorite. It continues the story of Juliette and her
journey to take down The Reestablishment. Warner is my favorite book boy out of any book I’ve
ever read. She now has to rely on him, someone she never thought she’d even like to begin
with. Along with simply such an interesting plot, the romance in this book is just to die for.

This book got me out of one of my worst reading slumps I’ve ever had. Filled with faeries, the
human world, ideas of patriarchy and power, and more, this book is more than anything I
could’ve asked for or even expected. An enemies to friends to maybe lovers, admiration from
afar, all of which are some of my favorite tropes personally. The two main characters, Jude, a
human living in the Faerie world, and Carden, the youngest son to the High King of Faerie.
They’re basically out to get each other throughout the whole book, but it’s deeper than simply

The Land Of Stories: A Grimm Warning
This is the 3rd book in the series “Land of
Stories”. This book is one of my favorite
books in the series since this is when
things start to drastically change for the
main characters in the book. The first two
books' main purposes are to set the scene
and enable the reader to emerge into the
world of the stories. This book is what
starts to set the theme for how the rest of
the series will play out. This book is the

The Land of Stories: Wishing Spell is a book about
two twin siblings who get stuck in the book of
fairytales provided by their grandmother. The
book takes us through their journey as they
explore the new world and face completely unknown
dangers of the book. I highly recommend this book
for young kids, especially those in middle school
since that is the age of the characters in the
book. Personally, this is one of my favorite
