Otogi, a descendant of the Grimm Brothers, has to battle his ancestors' fairy tale characters, and trap them inside an ancient magical book before they destroy him. But the dark truth about the deal the Grimm brothers made to write the stories isn't the only mystery Otogi will need to unravel if he is to discover who he can trust and who is determined to kill him.

I liked the premise of this story, and I love fairy tale retellings! As each of the fairy tale characters appear, I was interested to see what they would be like, but was disappointed that most of them are girly men with long hair and lacy clothes. What's that about? I think it's cool that someone like Cinderella is actually a man, but he acts so weird, and I didn't like all the innuendo stuff going on.

Otogi is a sarcastic person with plenty of bravado, but he is also reserved about his past. He has his own mysteries that he is hiding too. I like his reactions to things; he's just put off by half of what happens. He's always saying some version of "What is this stupidity?" haha!
He's also very compassionate, and wants to believe that there is good in everyone.

The plot was interesting, with lots of magic, mystery, and action! Otogi builds friendships, experiences betrayal, learns to fight, and studies like crazy for his school exams. And there's a surprise twist at the end that I never saw coming!
A fun story!
