And on that amazing note, we concluded our 9 book series of The Sisters Grimm.
Did we love these books? Yes. Were they especially perfect because the heroines were 2 sisters just a bit older than Christina and Maria? Was Puck quite possibly the best character ever? Yes. Yes. Yes.
These books were pretty great. Definitely a 10 out of 10. Michael Buckley did a fantastic job of weaving fairy tales together and changing them up just enough for you to say, "Aha!!" Thank you wicked Stepmother of Snow White. The books were hilarious with great plots and excellent character development.
Red Riding Hood was psychotic and totally creeptacular in the first few books. Thank you kitty/jabberwocky. Mr.Canis was to be respected. The fairy tale princesses were amazing and way past the dumb blond stereotypes. We dealt with death, revenge, justice, service and some intriguing questions dealing with villains and are they truly villains dependent on their surroundings and circumstances.
But the best part was Puck. Do my girls want to marry him? Yes. And the question really is why? He was absolutely immature and disgusting, yet his sense of humor would make up for everything. My favorite part of the series is when Puck tells Sabrina's dad that he is going to marry his daughter and he looks forward to the traditional duel between son and father in law that's to the death. The ending had a brief, what??? moment total page turner and ended quite nicely. Very neatly packaged and perfect.
Was is overly violent? Nope. Was is scary? Maybe a 4 out 10. Was it clean? Definitely!! I highly recommend this book series. The chapters are pretty lengthy... at least 30 pages a chapter... but definitely worth the read!! I think we went through this series in 1 month. And I wish I knew how to do a German accent, I had to do Granny Relda with a Brittish accent instead.
