Trash. Complete trash. As unsubtle as a Looney Tunes anvil to the head. As sensical as a soggy onion for a backpack. Why things do? Why characters be? Me no know, brain melted trying to comprehend this garbage pile word jumble masquerading as a book.
The most villainous villains are...... prep school students who hate paparazzi???? :O :O :O
These kids are magical in a world where magic is a commodity. You could say "They are student drivers, the relatives of used car salesmen" and it would mean the same thing. They are not a parody of known fairytales, or descendants of famous fairytale villains, or themselves particularly vindictive people... But they will TALK about themselves as if they are all shape-shifting, poison-apple-offering, blood-sucking, nightmare fuel! The most ridiculous things are deemed threatening in this book, like, joggers and cable knit sweaters XD XD XD!! I am legitimately concerned for the CO-AUTHORS (oh, my heart hurts, that TWO people collaborated on this, and neither told the other how BAD their writing was) who believe the scariest, cruelest threat to a teenager is... a boy who wants to kiss you. XD XD XD And THIS audacious refuse pile ends on a CLIFFHANGER, and thinks it deserves SEQUELS?!
TRAAAAASH!!!!
Do. Not. Read!!!
