This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
The best thing about this fun series is the ironic, goofy narration style. In case you didn’t catch this based on the title, the narrator is quick to point out that this is a dreadful fairy book—like, really terrible. That tongue-in-cheek narration style carries us through Shade’s quest to save Elfame’s library from the evil clutches of those who want censorship. Shade and friends end up on a grand adventure filled with humor and surprises. The book has many of the original characters, but also introduces us to some hilarious new friends. This is definitely not your average fairy tale—it flips the typical tropes and turns them into the unexpected!

"Why would anyone not want to ride on the back of a giant eagle and save themselves days or even weeks of long, exhausting travel?" I love this series lol.

Humorous, rollicking and wild, book two in the series does not disappoint. While I was happy to see characters from the first book return, I was really taken with the new batch introduced, like the kindly inventor Poor Richard and, perhaps the greatest character to grace the pages of YA fiction, Trudgemore the mulicorn.
Seriously. Literally every second Trudgemore is on the page is pure frickin' GOLD. I love him. My wife is tired of hearing how much I love him.
Good book. Ready for more.
