The Storybook of Legends by Shannon Hale
2.0
Hmmm.... I love Shannon Hale, and if anyone else had written this book, I definitely would not have read it. It was very hard for me to get into. I liked the idea of the story, but it just didn't turn out as well as it could have. There were so many annoying twists of technological references (hext message, MirrorPod, MirrorPhone, hext message) and even pop culture references (One Reflection, Tailor Quick) that I almost put the book down, it was so annoying, but because it was Shannon Hale whom I love, I kept going.
It also seemed weird to have one of the characters able to hear, and talk to, the "Narrator" of the story.
I liked the characters themselves, they were all interesting, most were quirky and fun. I had to laugh out loud every time their was a damsel in distress and Hunter (I think it was hunter) suddenly stripped off his shirt to a fanfare of music and then rushed off to rescue them.
In the end, I decided it was a cute, fun story. Maybe a little too cute, but then I'm not the target audience, so it will probably be perfect for tweens/young teens.
