Of Witches and Wind review



Of Witches and Wind (ARC)

Book one of The Ever Afters series   by Shelby Bach






 



Once upon a time, there was a story waiting to be told…

Rory Landon has a Destiny. Everyone knows about it, but no one will tell her what it means. This is all very troubling considering the similarities between her and the infamous Snow Queen, trapped in her glass castle. No matter what it turns out to be, Rory is certain about one thing; she doesn’t want to be like her. But at the Ever After School program, you cannot choose your Tale. Having been a Companion on her best friend’s successful Tale, Rory has finally found her footing in this new world, where fairy tales are real. But when a nefarious plot threatens all her new friends, Rory finds herself back on another quest, this time to the lost continent of Atlantis. With the clock ticking away, and a never-ending cast of characters interrupting them, Rory’s destiny might not even matter if she can’t get through this alive.


If you liked Of Giants and Ice than you are going to love Of Witches and Wind!
In this book you get to revisit Rory, Chase and Lena as they start yet another exciting adventure! I loved the plot in this book!
Of Witches and wind is full of exciting twists and turns. There are many secrets that unfold in this book!

After reading Of Giants and Ice I didn't think that any book could top it... I was wrong. I absolutely loved this book! It was well thought out. I love how you get to learn more about the characters. Of Witches and Wind is a well paced book with tons of adventure and excitement.
(I would say more, but I don't want to give anything away)


My book rating: ***** meg-a-stars

Of Giants and ice

Book one of The Ever Afters series   by Shelby Bach



Rory Landon has spent her whole life being known as the daughter of a famous movie star mom and director dad. So when she begins a new after-school program and no one knows who her family is, Rory realizes something is different. After she ends up fighting a fire-breathing dragon on her first day, she realizes the situation is more unusual than she could have imagined. It turns out the only fame that matters at Ever After School is the kind of fame earned from stories Rory thought were fictional. But as Rory soon learns, fairy tales are very real—and she is destined to star in one of her own.

This first installment of The Ever Afters series reimagines classic fairy tale characters in a modern context, merging familiar fantasy with the everyday realities of middle-grade existence.





Of Giants and Ice is one of my favorite books! Its packed with adventure and I think it has an awesome plot.
 I am a big fan of fairy tales, so when I read this book I instantly loved the idea of people being characters and starring in fairy tales!
Rory Landon is an awesome character. She has a  great personality and makes a wonderful heroine. I personally love Rory because I can relate to being the new girl in school( I just started in a new middle school! YIKES). 
I think this is an awesome book for both boys and girls to read.
You will have a blast reading this book if you like modern fairy tales.

I highly recommend reading this book!
