A TALE OF MAGIC: A TALE OF MAGIC...
B**K
Fantasy magic in its best form; you can confidently shut your eyes and buy it.
Chris Colfer, seriously, I am out of words! I didn't have many expectations from this at the beginning but what I saw in the end was gold! It is a highly recommended book for middle graders (and probably YA readers too) Children of ages 8 to 13+ can easily read this. I got amazing reviews from my friends who read it as well and they're crazy for the next book!The plot revolves around Brystal Evergreen, and to avoid spoilers, I'll just say she's a character from Land Of Stories (this book is a prequel to Land of Stories also by Chris Colfer) and her journey is amazing! She went from a girl who wanted to read books to a leader of a fairy council, the change is dramatic! It also explains the harsh realities of human feelings and behaviour. We also meet a Madame Weatherberry who'll make you long for a mentor like her!Lucy was one of the best characters I've ever met who's made me laugh more than any book I've read yet! This book is filled with wonders and is a classic fairy tale magic book with incredible twitches to marvel readers!It's a well planned, wonderfully built world for a story to be situated in and overall, I say you shut your eyes and hit that buy button! You won't regret it, I promise!

Read it! It's awesome...
This is a very nice book. If you have read land of stories and liked it, you should definitely read a tale of magic.It's like a prequel to the land of stories series, and you will enjoy matching these characters and identifying who they are in land of stories.It follows the story of a young woman who was born into the era where women were prevented from studying, reading, or learning, and how she fights it, with a twist of magic in itI would tell you which character's previous life is shown here but I won't ruin it for you. 😉One quick note : you don't have to be familiar with the characters from The Land of Stories to read this book, but it would be better if you read the land of stories series first.It makes this book even better!!Loved it!I'm looking forward to reading the second book which will be available by 8 October...

PHENOMENAL!!!!
Man it was so good to be back with Chris Colfer’s writing. The Land of Stories series is what got me into MG, & will always have a special place in my heart. This 1st book in a series that is a prequel series to TLOS was PHENOMENAL. It’s characters are a little older MG, & I flew through it. This completed prompt 3 for Series September:series you started a long times ago. I loved this. I loved seeing the very beginnings to a certain aspect of this world. As usual, the author has such a talent for writing- engaging writing, with well thought out plots, full of magic & imagination. He writes the most amazing & endearing characters that you just fall in love with. He also manages to also weave so many amazing messages throughout his books. One of my favorite paragraphs was: “‘We're all just a couple of mistakes away from becom-ing the people we despise,’ she said. ‘So don't think worse of yourself, but let this change how you think of yourself. Start valuing who you are, more than what you are. Prove you're better than most people by showing more acceptance and empathy. And fuel your pride with what you earn and create, instead of what you're born with.’” I also noticed of all 4 kids, the only totally accepting & loving parents were ones who adopted the child after she was discarded by the humans. The adopted parents being a species banned by said humans for being evil/awful. So many messages in there alone lol. I loved all our main kids, & all their different magical talents were incredible. Our MC Brystal is superb though. Her kindness & compassion are written so well. It doesn’t come off cheesy or..wrong in anyway. It’s in a way to where you wish the world was full of people like her. She’s truly exceptional. The last piece of dialogue for the chapter on page 468? I was so dang proud of her, & that scene gave me goosebumps. The twists at the end had me speechless, & I was just shocked! Such a great ending though. This is full of adventure, magic, friendship, danger, imagination, atmosphere, & another found family aspect that will warm your heart. Also, Lucy is just the best lol When I realized who she becomes, I laughed so hard. Because it’s perfect, & clicks into place perfectly lol. HIGHLY recommend. STUNNING cover by Brandon Dorman too. The naked hardback is also so BEAUTIFUL!💜
