I enjoyed this book, a great wee opening to the series getting to know the characters and the drive of the series :-)

My 8 y/o and I read this together and he decided that it was the greatest thing he's ever read. Very cleaver storyline revolving around Grimm's fairy tales.

I thought this was an enjoyable book, though not a favorite. The one thing I majority disliked was just the art. Honestly, I just thought it made the characters look kind of ugly, and didn't match the image in my head at all. I thought it would be better considering the cover looked awesome (not the one Goodreads shows for me now). But that's all. I thought this was a fun and quick read.

Lost my interest (and that of my 10-year-old). DNF'd about halfway through.
