| (Free copy through Kindle store.)I did enjoy this book a little more than the first prequel. The writing style was much more fluid and not so drawn out. As with the first prequel, I enjoyed the retelling of the fairy tale. Jace is very gifted in making connections between fairy tales, folk lore, mythology, and real history. In that way he is very talented.I really hated the dynamic between Alice and Loki. I was easily bored by their childish relationship. I know they are supposed to be young, but they bicker and flirt like elementary school children, which was very irritating. Other than the detailed connections, I felt pretty apathetic toward the characters and plot. I was interested in those connections, but didn’t really care what happened.As with the first prequel, the story was interesting, but I don’t feel inclined to read the actual Grimm Diaries. |
