This will be the same review for the next several books in the series since I am listening to them all back to back.
4.25 stars.
This is like A Series of Unfortunate Events meets Once Upon a Time. Humans and 'Everafters' aka fairytale characters live side by side but the characters don't age while humans do. The Sisters are descendants of the Grimm Brothers. The whole premise of Grimm Brothers stories being documentation rather than fairytales made up is fantastic.

4 freaking badass children (well, only three, but I added another for the dog)

This is an interesting and fairly well-done kids novel. It has enough elements of detective work to make it a kids mystery but it also ties in all of the classic fairy tales that most children grew up with. It has a strong family theme presented through the orphaned sisters finding a family that they truly belong with. Overall I would recommend this for kids.
