The Grimm Legacy

review 1: As someone who works in a library, I found the premise of this book really interesting. However, I found the writing to be a bit young for my taste, which is unfortunately a common occurrence when reading young adult novels (it's very hit or miss - the writing can be on point, or it can be too young). That being said, I still enjoyed the book. The plot did keep me guessing who the bad guy was, and it seemed like the author had really done their research regarding the material they were focusing on. Is it a perfect book? No, but it's not bad. My main issue was the writing style being too young for my taste and the "happily ever after" message it seemed to carry. But for a quick read or for a middle school kid, I think it's decent.
review 2: This was a really enj... moreoyable read full of fairy tale lore, set in modern-day New York. Elizabeth Rew hasn’t really made friends yet at her new school, but one of her teachers sends her to interview for a job as a page at the New York Circulating Material Depository. It’s a library of sorts, but instead of lending books, it lends all kinds of things – including objects from the Grimm Collection, objects associated with the fairy tales the Grimm brothers collected. Something shady is going on with the GC, though, and Elizabeth has to figure out if she can trust her fellow pages – hotshot basketball player Marc, prickly Aaron, and beautiful, competent Anjali – and how they can find out what’s going wrong, and put a stop to it. The Grimm Legacy is fast-paced, magical, and realistic; it will capture the imaginations of those who want to believe magic exists, but know that sometimes it creates more problems than it solves. less
