“Anyone can have a once-upon-a-time or a happily-ever-after, but it's the journey between that makes the story worth telling.” 

After decades of hiding and regaining her strength, the evil enchantress that cursed sleeping beauty has returned for revenge. After Alex and Conner’s adventures in the magical land of stories they have gone back to their normal life back home, but when their mother mysteriously disappears they’re swept back into the fairy tale land. Their Grandmother wants them to remain safe at home so they find their own way to the land of stories to rescue their mother. Alex and Conner must work together with their friends to save both worlds from the greatest threats they’ve ever faced.

The second in Chris Colfer’s Land of stories series is just as well written and exciting as the first in the series. The worldbuilding is fantastic and the land of stories is a rich and vibrant world full of interesting characters and magic. This book is more action packed than the first one as the enchantress is a much bigger threat than the evil queen in the first book. If you liked the first book you’ll definitely love this one.
