I
thought this was a brilliant and exciting sequel. Although the plot
was similar to the first book, with the twins having to travel around
the fairy tale world to collect various items, there was still many
themes to keep the story original. Characters that we know and love
from the first book return, but we also have the addition of Mother
Goose, who is a brilliant and funny character, and also some new
villains. Although I think each task could have been spread out over
more than one chapter, it was still well thought out. There are
certain problems presented near the start of the novel that are not
resolved until the last chapter, and this keeps you guessing
throughout the novel what it means. It takes a while to get into the
main quest of the story, as the twins have to find a way into the
Land of Stories and also find out a way they are able to defeat the
Enchantress before they can start the quest. The climax has a good
moral to it, and will teach children a valuable lesson. I am looking
forward to the third installment in this series.
