Jun 29, 2020TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Chris Colfer’s third installment in the Land of Stories continues Alex and Conner’s journey in the Land of Stories. Therefore, I would highly recommend reading the first and second books before reading this one, since the characters get introduced in them and some things may not make sense without knowing what happened in the previous books. In this book, a new threat is coming to the land and the twins have to gather forces to defeat the incoming army. I liked how we could learn more about the characters because I felt more engaged in the story. Additionally, it was nice to see the aftermath of what happened in the second book. It contains humour, as well as action and adventure, so I would recommend this to people who are following the Land of Stories series since it’s a great addition to the series! 3.5/5 @stardkdust07 of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board “A Grimm Warning”, Book #3 of the “Land of Stories” series, written by Chris Colfer, is probably my most favourite book out of the three books that I have read in this series so far. This series just continues to get better and better with every book! Alex and Connor Bailey are extremely entertaining characters to read about and are very easy to relate to as well. I personally see my self in Alex Bailey because I always tend to take on a lot of responsibilities above my age and I worry about things that are not in my control, and I think Alex personality is somewhat like that as well. So many things about or related to Alex and Conner begin to unravel in this story, making it very hard to put down. To anyone that just wants to calm down and relax with a book, should definitely give this series a try because it is sure to put a smile on your face. The cliffhanger at the end of this book is just so intense that I can’t wait to start the next one! I rate this book a 4.5 out of 5. @Rose of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board A book series that has definitely become more thrilling and more adventurous as it goes on is The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. Book three called A Grimm Warning does not disappoint! Conner Bailey thinks his fairy-tale adventures are behind him, until he discovers a mysterious clue left by the famous Brothers Grimm. With help from his classmate Bree and the outlandish Mother Goose, Conner sets off on a mission across Europe to crack a two-hundred-year-old code. Meanwhile, Alex Bailey is training to become the next Fairy Godmother… but her attempts at granting wishes never go as planned. This book was suspenseful and comical. There were many mysteries that were not completely solved at the end of the novel and will make you want to continue onto next book in the series. I would recommend this book for readers aged 9+. 4.5/5 stars @GymGirl of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board I was expecting another repeated plot in this novel like the sequel repeated the first novel but A Grim Warning was completely unique to my surprise. There was a very exciting plot that held more adventure. Not only that but the two main protagonists go through some character development. In this novel they’re actually separated for a while and live their own lives until the one needs the other in the Land of Stories. I don’t want to spoil much but the ending has the biggest twist out of all three of novels being Wishing Spell, The Enchantress Returns and A Grim Warning. If you didn’t enjoy the Enchantress Returns then please don’t let that ruin your chance of reading this novel because you won’t regret it one bit. 4/5 stars @Celine of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board
