The first book had more magic in it for me. But overall not bad either.

A truly magical delight of a book for all who love stories. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I wish with all my heart that I could bookwander. And for all their supposed dangers, I think I'd find a home in fairytales in much the same way that I found a home in Pages & Co. I also appreciated the not-so-thinly-veiled (and incredibly important) lessons in political activism that run so central to the plot of the sequel in particular.

The start is tedious, and don't read it before the next book comes out. It's a bit disappointing with lots of politics and long speeches. Hopefully the next one ends up better.
