Concluding the sitelinkFairy Tales of the Open Road trilogy, sitelinkUrban Fairy Tale follows the continued battle of good vs evil or is there even such a thing between Princess brothersyes, PRINCESS brothersTaylor and Atticus Hatfield.


As enchants magical beings in our mundane world and reincarnations of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White alike, Taylor and Atticus were tight as thieves growing up, until Idi the WitchkingAtticuss/Snow Whites true love spanning countless generationscame back and stole Atticuss heart and mind.


Over the course of the series, Taylor, along with his one true love, Huntsmen Corentin Devereaux, and his fairy godfather, Ringo, have travelled the States scrambling at every enchanted turn to stop Atticus and Idi from destroying enchants and their legacies for good.


But now, even with Idi miraculously and questionably on their side of the fight after the events of book two, Taylor and Corentin find their HEA more under threat than ever, with Atticus now in possession of The Bookthe one fairytale powered book that holds the precarious legacies and destinies of all enchants the world over.


Despite the unique premise and the potential for epicness, and the fact that Im a lifetime lover of all things fairytale related, this story felt fragmented and clunky in its delivery, possibly even more so than the two that came before it.
I wanted to love this series so damn much, but with each passing book I became more confused following the nonsensical plot, with its blinkandyouliterallymissedsomethingvital vibe, resulting in me becoming less and less invested in giving a damn about what would ultimately happen to these characters and their fairytale endings.


The finale could have turned everything around for meor at least knocked my rating up a notchbut Ill be honest and say its the final chapters of this series that left me more frustrated and more perplexed than ever.
To me, the ending was a total copout, feeling rushed and unclear, and not delivering the conclusions deserved by some of these characters, “good” or “bad.
”

I honestly read all the other reviews for this book hell, the whole trilogy and now feel like I read something different from everybody else.
This tells me I clearly have a personal disconnect with Chases storytelling style, because so many other readers loved this series and its conclusion.
I would feel bereft that my experience was so different, and not in a positive way, but, truly, all I feel is relief that its done and dusted, and now I can put the whole thing to bed.
Turns out, this author and me just don't mesh,.stars.
A fantastic wrap up to the Fairy Tale trilogy, it's fast paced from the start, while the heroes fight to save the wayward Princess Atticus.
Won from DSP on Joyfully Jay, and as it is book three with what looks like extensive fantasy world building I think I was always going to struggle to keep up.
Full on fantasy where the real world is buried deep is not my forte I am very literal, no imagination! so am in awe of people who can create such stories.

I liked the humour, the references to writers plot bunnies, Taylor and his Dad's big moment at the family home, and oddly I liked the goriness of what happened to people when Atticus destroyed their page in The Book fairytales were originally more gruesome than sweet.

I did struggle with some of the more convoluted storylines Taylor's dream state I wasn't sure if he was there or not when things were happening.
And at the start I got that it was a dream and I was expecting it to circle back round to that as truth at the end but was disppointed there maybe that would have been too easy!
I did find all the characters quite a lot for me to keep track off though it will probably be ok if you've read the other books.

The story of two broken boys Atticus and Taylor did get to me, it took perhaps a third of the book for the story to hook me in to going with the flow instead of trying to decipher it all!! And I found myself siding with Atticus, wanting him to get his Happily Ever After and I don't think I'm certain about what happened with he and Idi at the end.

So, I did like it, i enjoyed the road trip, the beginning and end confused my poor brain but it was magnificently put together! Fans of major fantasy stories will love, would recommend following the story from book.
The latest installment in the Fairy Tale Stories continues where the previous book ends, with Atticus still being out of reach, He managed to get hold of the book of all enchanted beings and is now trying to change the stories to his desire, rewriting all their entire history.
He doesn't shy away from editing anyone out he dislikes,
Taylor and Corentin are travelling all over the country to find the magic apple core and stop Atticus on his road of destruction.
For this they have to partner up with one they considered their enemy, Idi the Witchking is also Hook and the only one that can help them find the magic apple and save Atticus,

We learn more about The Library, a secret organization that governs the enchanted world and which helps Taylor and Corentin.
They are hunting Atticus, failing again and again because he is too powerful and slippery and in the possession of the book that gives him an advantage.


Taylor is still fixed on helping his brother, but the longer the journey and the more he sees of what become of his brother, he starts to face the fact that there might be only one way to stop him.


It does not end on a cliffhanger, but has an ending that brought tears to my eyes, And I strongly believe that the story of the enchanted beings is not ending here yet :

I received an ARC for giving an honest review.

Final installment of the Fairy Tale series by Lex Chase and what a conclusion!!!! Taylor, the decent of Sleeping Beauty, has been given the task to eliminate his brother Atticus.
Atticus is the decent of Snow White and his mind has been eroded with the help of Idi the Witch King,

Taylor, Corentin Taylor's love and a unsuspecting ally

must find Atticus and take him out, What a horrible assignment to be given to a brother!!! Someone you tried to protect at all costs and now!!!

This story, and the whole concept of male princesses, just blew my mind.
I enjoyed every moment of reading this book, The monumental ups and the canyon of downs, The tears I cried, the laughs, the angry stares I gave Lex Chase, although she was no where around, Excellent read.
