All that glitters is not gold.
When something precious is stolen from sixteen-year-old Mina Grime, she will do anything in her power to get it back, even if it means traveling to the dangerous Fae plane and battling one of the strongest fairy-tale villains yet.
However, nothing can prepare Mina for the dangerous obstacles she will face in the Fae world, or the choices she must make when love and life are on the line.
And here we have the third book in the Unfortunate Fairy
Tale series. I read reviews for it after
I finished it, mostly because I was curious what people would say, but didn’t
want it ruined for me (I do this for a lot of books I’ve just finished reading,
actually). Anyway, it seems that a lot
of people didn’t like this entry in the series.
But you know what I also noticed?
People who didn’t like this one liked the previous books. And as you’ll know if you’ve read my previous
reviews for the books, they aren’t that great, as far as I’m concerned.
This time the action really gets started. Mina experiences a tragedy very early in the
book in the form of a fire in the building she lives in, which everyone
believes claimed her younger brother.
Pretty early on she finds out that he’s in fact been kidnapped,
orchestrating another tale after she was avoiding them on purpose all
summer. The book isn’t perfect, I don’t
think, but it definitely shows leaps and bounds of improvement for Hahn and her
writing. I actually enjoyed a good
majority of it, especially near the end when everything starts being revealed
and the stakes for the final book are set.
It’s different from the last two books, and that’s probably why
reviewers who enjoyed the first two don’t like it, but I personally think it’s
much, much better.
I just wish that Hahn had started off this strong. When the final book comes out I’ll probably
be looking for it, though. So, happy
reading!
