This is a gruesome, but wonderful series! Love the way the story moves from tale to tale but keeps the same characters. Loved the frog in this book! Great story!

Just a tad less impressed with this book (2nd in the series). The beginning is great, it gets a bit boring with the story around the giants and then it goes crescendo towards a great finale.

Excellent. One can't go wrong with the depth and grotesque' of the unadulterated fairy tale, da? And Gidwitz threads it all through -- blood, guts, horror, wonder, injustice, true love. ...er, sounds Princess Bride now. But no. Gidwitz is a wonder for the wonder he weaves his own tales with, and writes the perfect yarn for a kid or young adult, drawing out the innate edge of faerie, updating only the narrator's voice, and only in interjections, and blending many small tales into a single, much the way pieces of a life blend to make one whole person.

So apparently, I also read this a couple years ago. This is why I have Goodreads, because I don't remember it at all! I don't know why...it's such a great story! I can't wait to finish the series!
