“What I mean is, all the terrible things that happen in fairy tales seem real. Or not real, but genuine. Life is unfair, and the bad guys keep winning and good people die. But I like how that's not always the end of it...Evil is real, but so is good. They always say fairy tales are simplistic, black...

See more of my reviews on The YA Kitten! I've owned few books for as long as I've owned The Grimm Legacy.
