Almost 8 years agohappypug12's book review was featured in Of Enemies and Endings (The Ever Afters).
When I first started this book, I was SO upset at the very thought of even finishing THE last book of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BOOK SERIES EVER. The only book series that close to matching my love for this series is The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley. But when I finished Of Enemies and Endings, I surprised myself. I LOVED (and still love) THE ENDING AND THIS BOOK AND EVERY BOOK IN THIS SERIES TO BITS. The end just satisfied every part of me that was certain I was going to break into tears of sadness. (But if I had cried at the end of this tale, it would have been out of sheer joy.) I know this review is going to sound dramatic and crazy but these books have taken a huge piece of my heart, and every day I think of Rory and Chase and Lena. Every book in this series was superb and heart-breaking and joyful and perfect, but of the four books in this series, this was my favorite. Every book builds on the last, with each book getting better and developing the characters so much more, and this was the cherry that topped all the other books in this series. I felt every bit of pain that Rory felt, with every stab of grief that she felt tearing my heart a little more. I felt giddy with joy when she experienced happiness. Rory had the raised the bar to whole new levels in characters. Chase and Lena too. So if you have don't do it NOW because you will never put these books down once you start. WHEW THAT REVIEW WAS LONG AND I DO NOT BLAME YOU IF YOU DON'T READ THE WHOLE THING.Almost 8 years agohappypug12 added a book review.

Dear Editor, I requested a book at least two weeks ago and I still haven't gotten it. Is that normal?Almost 8 years agohappypug12liked a comment in Summer Reading 2016.

This book was awesome. It was the perfect mash-up of fairy-tales and modern day. Similar to: The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley, The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer, and Half Upon a Time by John Riley. The perfect mix of comedy and action, this book is a must read.Almost 8 years agohappypug12 has read this book.

I can't say that my reason for wanting this book will be any different or better than others, but the reason I would like to have this book is to read it. National Geographic books are some of my favorites, mostly because of all the facts that I can fill my brain with. Thank you anyways!Almost 8 years agohappypug12liked a comment in Of Giants and Ice (Ever Afters).
