This book series is amazing!!! It is so creative and imaginative, with comedy and adventure, danger and drama and magic, deeply thought out characters, and vivid descriptions! It is engaging and draws you in from the very beginning of the first book of the series. The entire world that the author has created is so original, complex but clear, and complete, it feels real!!! It is an exciting and fun read. Best of all, one of the best things about this series is that, unlike many others, each book is just as fantastic as the next!!!! You will be right there with the characters on their journey from start to finish, and as soon as you reach the end of each book you will be just dying to begin the next!!!

Olivia's Review; I've eagerly anticipated this next installment in the Land of Stories, and it hasn't disappointed! The characters were all spot-on, and I loved getting to see Connor's imagination through his stories and how they reflected the Bailey twins's adventures. The writing was humorous and fast-paced - there was never a slow moment in the story. The plot was exciting and suspenseful, a perfect read for kids of all ages. I fell in love with this series a while ago and am thrilled that there will, indeed, be another book in the series after this one. Overall, an exciting, action-packed, super creative, funny, clever fifth installment to the Land of Stories!

Oscar's Review: I really loved this book. In every chapter when you thought something was going well, the ship would sink and everything would be submerged and the story would be shaken. I really don't have that much to say about this book because I love it so much, but I do have one thing: most who read this book will love it as they've loved, in turn, the first, second, third, and fourth books in the series. There was also a HUGE, interesting, and unexpected twist that really shook up the story and increased the suspense and excitement levels by a tenfold. I think this book would really appeal to reluctant readers because it is an action-packed, fast-paced fantasy story that pulls you into the book from the start.

Stories within a story... I was drawn into this story’s stories pretty quickly. Does that even make sense? It doesn’t have to make sense. Its a fairytale. This book is all about Connor. You see, Connor is the author of these four stories and he has found a way to go into his stories to recruit a few of his own literary characters to save the worlds. Both worlds.
Connor has matured and he is beginning to understand how and where he fits in. These are Connor’s stories; but, ohhhhh, they are so much more than that. They are his path to self discovery... a subconscious map to places only he has imagined and like most authors, he has left his finger print on every single page when he writes. I love it!

We have a tween who is absolutely in love with this series. Great gift idea for anyone who enjoys fantasy type books (Tuesdays at the Castle, Harry Potter, Ever After High, Princess Academy etc.). We are quite careful to make sure content is age appropriate for our tween (with an 11th grade reading level) and have found these books to entertain without worry of introducing subjects too adult at this point. All the stories revolve around a brother and sister who find themselves actually inside a fairy tale land and coming into contact with/relying on/fleeing from story book characters they grew up reading about. They are witty books and hard to put down; our veracious reader finishes them within 24 hours of getting them. Highly recommend.

Colfer is a master of making you chew your fingernails all year until the next book comes out, and making you want to smack you head into your book. The book was amazing and I was up all night reading. This book get fairly scary at some parts but always comes back with its charm

My children and I have read and enjoyed all of the LOS books. Chris Colfer is a gifted writer - full of imagination, clever ideas, witty characters, and great fun. His books take you on a journey through much loved fairy tales, but show you a side of them that you have never seen before. We have also listened to all of the audio books together (while on road trips - a great way to pass the time and still enjoy the scenery) and they are equally great. Highly recommend.

A bit busy.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 27, 2019Verified Purchase
I’ve been enjoying this series but this instalment seemed trickier to read and I lost interest part way thorough. I ploughed on knowing that I enjoyed the others.
There just seems to be too many characters. It got too confusing and a little bit boring when every character in a scene had to say something. It was all a bit of a jumble and having literally just finished, I couldn’t name all the characters.
There were also a number of terms/words which were used in the wrong context or just wrong. Authors should not be making these mistakes and if they are, they should have been picked up on in editing.
Previously in the series I have been able to forget that it is a book written by an actor (who wouldn’t have had a book deal had he not been on Glee) and get lost in the story.
This instalment truly felt like it was written by Connor. A child. It felt rushed and crowded.
My only incentive to read the next one is based on my enjoyment of the previous books.

Bought originally as a gift for a Glee fan, I decided to give these books a go. Very presently surprised - well constructed and full of twists and turns to keep the pages turning. Loved them so much I have bought the rest of the series. Highly recommended for fantasy fiction lovers!

Colfer's The Land of Stories continues with a fun ride through the imagination of his protagonist Conner. Creative, hilarious, inspiring and enjoyable, this brand new adventure will keep you giggling throughout. I loved learning more about what goes on in the characters' heads, and each brilliantly zany adventure adds to the delight. A must read for fans of the series, with a wonderful meta twist!

My daughter has loved this series since she was around 7 and eagerly awaits each new book as they come out each summer. Each year after she has devoured the book. she would write to Chris Colfer asking him to continue writing this series because she doesn't want the adventures to end. :-)
