Review:
As a child I loved the entirety of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. As an adult, I realize that the stories are most certainly a product of their time. With some offensive words (like G*psy) and comedic relief stereotypes it most certainly wouldn’t have been published in todays world.
With that said, however, I still enjoyed the second installment. The unique plays on traditional fairytales and folklore, along with the whimsical humor make the novel fun. Though I will admit that the second book seems far slower than the first, the writing seems to be better. The same writing is simplistic and straightforward, ideal for any growing middle schooler trying to hone their reading skills and move to more advanced series.
Over all, not ideal for adults in the least, a bit archaic but ideal for middle graders still finding their footing.
