A Tale of Magic is thest book in a new series written by Chris Colfer, Even though its a prequel to his award winning Land of Stories series, readers do not need to be familiar with the characters in the first series.
Chriss books are written with middle grade readers in mind however, I think “children” of all ages will enjoy them and immediately feel love for the characters.
I adored the protagonist Brystal shes spunky and determined to not take the path her parents have deemed necessary for girls, The other characters were tons of fun too, Readers will get to know a group of delightful fairies: Madame Weatherberry, Tangerina, Skylene, Xanthous, Emerelda, Lucy, and Mrs, Vee. Youll also meet the evil monarchs and the Snow Queen witch, Their main goal is to stop magic from being practiced in the kingdoms,
Chris skillfully weaves in the need for acceptance and equality into his story, I recognized immediately some of the situations we face in todays world, such as discrimination, division, patriarchy, oppression, and much more, Together the fairies attempt to rid the kingdoms of the evil mentioned above,
This fiftysomething reader found herself laughing out loud at the situations the fairies and witches found themselves in during the story, All ages will love it! Thank you Chris, and Little, Brown, and Company for the ARC of this magical book, Okay I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was amazing!!! A great book to give us some more information about before the whole Alex, Connor thing, Would definitely recommend reading this after Land of Stories! This book was super interesting and full of magic and friendship, It is a very describing author who wrote this wonderful book, I would reccommand this for,
"Ignorance is a choice, Hatred is a choice, Violence is a choice, But someone's existence is never a choice, or a fault, and it's certainly not a crime, "
Forget Hogwarts, I am going to Madame Berryweather's!
I loved every page of this! After getting over the disappointment of this not continuing where The Land od Stories ended.
I ended up loving this one even more, It's set completetly in the Land of Stories, Chris Colfer began a wonderful series with this book and he threw so many valueable life lessons in there gender equality I was so angry when I read about how Brystal grew up and the LGBTQ community.
. . I loved this so much, I cannot even put it into words, me muero por que se publique ya la continuación de Un cuento de magia: ha sido una historia llena de fantasía, aventuras, y valores absolutamente necesarios en nuestra sociedad, que, además, de achucha el corazón y logra emocionarte.
Reseña completa: sitelink blogspot. com/ Novela infantil/juvenil de magia y aventuras,
Muy entretenida, con buenos personajes y una ambientación coherente, y en la que se resaltan valores como la compasión y la tolerancia.
من خیلی وقته تمومش کردم ولی اینجا اپدیت نکردم
اندازه طلسم ارزو نبود ولی خیلی زیبا بود
با توجه به پایانش
به شدت احساس میکنم این گذشته دنیای قصه های همیشگیه This book felt so much different from the Land of Stories series for me, The story took a while to develop and then came to a very quick and clean conclusion, A little too clean for all the long build up, It also felt very preachy and clearly has an underlying meaning that many young readers will not pick up on, I was disappointed for as much as I LOVED the first series, this one felt forced to me, I will continue the series and see if it improves, ,.
En resumen, Un cuento de magia ha sido una lectura que ha tenido todo lo que necesito en un middle grade, desde un gran mundo mágico, pasando por una trama adictiva y fácil de leer, hasta personajes de los que nos quedamos con ganas de saber más, por lo que tengo claro que seguiré leyendo esta serie.
sitelinkReseña completa OMG! This book was so amazing, I have so many feels, I just want to devour it again and again, And wow, what a mother fucking plot twist! I wasn't expecting that at all, I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a book about magic, unbreakable friendship, and boundless compassion, After enjoying The Land of Stories books immensely through my teen years, I was looking forward to returning to Chris Colfer's magical universe but my expectations were quickly dashed by the snailspace plot and lack of creativity within this book.
The synopsis of A Tale of Magic covers the firstpages out of this nearlypage book, and not much else of any consequence happens within those pages.
It takes ages to get to the promised plot of the magic school and uncovering the mysteries of Madame Weatherberry,
The book also suffers from a severe case of telling, not showing, That coupled with the frequent instances of Brystal talking aloud to herself to explain her thoughts comes off as lazy and monotonous, Adding to that, it seems as though we get the backstories of each of our characters explained to us half a dozen times over as if we haven't already read the events happening in real time.
The A Tale of Magic.'s length could have been cut it half had it not been for the constant summarizing and repetition,
The liberal messages come off as preachy and distracting, as if this fantastical world was made to be nothing more than a giant metaphor for the women's suffrage movement and fighting homophobia simultaneously.
That one's still confusing, trying to decipher when magic is a metaphor for which social justice issue,
Our antagonists are cartoonishly villainous with no depth to their characters whatsoever and only exist to emphasize how right and good our protagonist is.
The ending is anticlimactic and far too convenient, not to mention insanely rushed considering how little time was dedicated to actually resolving the main conflict which was only introduced to us a chapter before it is taken care of.
I was up untilA, M. finishing reading this. I love this author and his stories, Most of all I love how he weaves ethics and morality into them unobtrusively, By not coming out and saying it, he makes a point and maybe more people will get the message that way,
Not that this is a dry or religious book, It is a fantasy/fairy tale aboutfairies, And witches, and kings, and politicians, There are unicorns and gryphons, magic carriages, castles, dwarves, ogres, elves, goblins and trolls, Beautiful jacket and illustrations, and even the hardback is beautiful,
