271. The Land of Stories: An Author's Odyssey (Book 5) by Chris Colfer

BOOK REVIEW: The Land of Stories - An Author's Odyssey (Book 5) by Chris Colfer

If you ever thought fairy tales were meant for the tots, you will have to seriously rethink after reading this book. Familiar characters from beloved fairytales are given a fresh perspective with kick-ass attitudes and profiles you would never have imagined. 

Besides fairytales been given a spell of renewal, readers will be tossed into a world where stories on pages come alive, where characters conjured by the protagonists in this story on paper, come to life in a swashbuckling adventure like never before.

The Masked Man has captured all the royal families from the Land of Stories with the help of of his army of literature's greatest villains (think the Wicked Witch of the West, Captain Hook and the Queen of Hearts). 

Alex and Conner know they are no match against the Masked Man's legion of villains, but they realize they may be in possession of the greatest weapon of all: their imaginations!

So begins the twins' journey into Conner's very own stories to gather an army for the ultimate fight against the Masked Man. Meanwhile, an even more dangerous plan is brewing - one that could change the fates of the fairy-tale world and the Otherworld forever....

I totally fell in love with this book which I picked up in an MPH sale for its beautifully illustrated cover. The story within held an even more prominent beauty than the cover and had me captivated. It truly makes me want to devour the rest of the books in this series to relish the story within a story. 5 stars for this incredible author!
