3.5 stars. I was a little disappointed because I ADORED the first book. I think Brystal is a more dynamic (and less annoying) protagonist than Lucy, and I found myself wishing Lucy’s half of the book to be over so I could get back to Brystal.
By the end, I understood why Lucy’s storyline was so integral to the plot, but I was still irrationally annoyed by all of her nonsense.
I did really like the Mistress Mara/creepy af aspect, and the Righteous Brotherhood seemed terrifyingly lifelike. My jaw dropped at the plot twist at the end, that I should have seen coming, but I’m also just still annoyed because UGH I want Brystal and the fairies to have nice things!!!
The end did set it up nicely for the next book though, so that’s exciting. I definitely loved the first book more, but am looking forward to #3!

Another fantastic book by Chris Colfer. I love reading more about Brystal/Fairy Godmother and her adventures which her best friends (Fairy Council) and learning more about how Mother Goose became the lovable character we met in the original series. This book definitely was another wonderfully written book and I loved the intricacies and the characters and the story and I cannot wait for the next book!!!!!!!!!
A wonderful continuation of the Tale of Magic series.

This was soooo fun I really enjoyed it! I especially liked seeing more of Lucy's POV, I think she's maybe more interesting to follow than Brystal... But overall it was such a fun book, great story, loved the witches and the plot twist did get me
It was kind of crazy to me how young the characters were, like I get its because its a book for a younger audience but I feel like it might make a but more sense if they were older teens
Very excited to see how it all wraps up!

I'm a big fan of this universe, and I teach at least one book from this or the Land of Stories every year. A Tale of Witchcraft did not disappoint-creative ingenuity from Colfer makes the magical world come alive in the mind of the reader, and the political metaphors to the state of todays world make this book enjoyable for adults reading along with their kids. I'm already eager for the next Tale in this series!
