Let's Book Talk: A Tale of Magic

-
A Tale of Magic... (A Tale of Magic, #1)This week, I want to talk about A Tale of Magic. I think the book was absolutely amazing so let's book talk! There will be spoilers for A Tale of Magic so beware!

Madame Weatherberry is the Snow Queen

        So let's just start out with the biggest surprise. I was so stunned when I found out Madame Weatherberry was the Snow Queen. I mean really, it was MIND-BLOWING! Can you say plot twist? I could not put it down after that.
        After this, I was so excited to see what happens next. When we first met Madame Weatherberry I thought she was such a nice person and would never do anything evil. Then, when the witches came, I was convinced that she might, like really slightly, be a little bit evil. But I still hung onto the hope that she was good.
        THEN, when she explained everything to Brystal, I knew she was truly good. She was risking her life to fight the Snow Queen! Or so we thought... When we finally found out that Madame Weatherberry is the Snow Queen, I was in shock. How could someone who seemed so sweet be so evil? It was like you know who form Red Queen all over again! 

The Southern Kingdom

        The rules of the Southern Kingdom are ridiculous. Girls can't read? Really? I would never survive a week there. And the whole thing where women should only grow up the be wives and mothers? NO THANK YOU PLEASE! I mean, I love a good romance as much as the next girl but only a wife and mother? No wonder Byrstal is such a rebel.

Other Thoughts

        I loved Brystal. She has so much energy and was adorable. I loved her so much!
        It was so interesting to see The Land of Stories before Conner and Alex. It added so much amazing history to the world! I loved discovering that Brysatl was the Fairy Godmother. And we all know that Lucy becomes Mother Goose!


        How did you feel about A Tale of Magic? Did it blow you away as much as it did to me?

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
