Story's End by Marissa Burt Book Review
Ages: 8-12 Trade ISBN: 9780062020543
Inkheart meets The Neverending Story
in the sweeping sequel to Storybound. A deadly Enemy has returned to the
magical land of Story—and twelve-year-old Una Fairchild may hold the key to
defeating him.
Long
ago, a King ruled the land of Story....During his reign, Heroes, Villains, and characters of all
kinds lived out Tales filled with daring quests and epic struggles. Then the
King disappeared, and over the years nearly everyone forgot that he had ever
existed.
Now an evil
Enemy has emerged, determined to write a new future for Story. And an ordinary
girl from our world named Una Fairchild must find a way to defeat him.
Una and her
friends Indy and Peter set off on a quest for answers, facing warlocks, beasts,
and enchantments at every turn. But Una soon discovers that the real key lies
in her own mysterious ties to Story’s past—and to the long-forgotten King
who may be their only hope for survival.
Storybound has been praised by
Kirkus Reviews for its “richly imagined world” and by Publishers
Weekly as “an appealing fantasy with strong writing and interesting
characters.” Story’s End is filled with the same breathtaking action,
heartwarming friendship, and timeless appeal. Readers will leap at the chance
to return to this captivating fairy-tale world, which is perfect for fans of Inkheart,
Gail Carson Levine, and classics like A Wrinkle in Time.
My Review:
I am one of those people who have been waiting an entire year for this book to come out! In fact, I read Storybound when it was free on Harper Collins website last April and I read the whole book on my computer! I was hooked and loved it so much that I purchased a hardback book for myself! So when Story's End came out, it was long over-due for this huge fan of Marissa Burt! The world of story is everything and more that you can imagine about fairy tales and books!
If you loved Storybound, then you will love Story's End! This series is amazing and the adventures continue with Una, Peter and Indy. The land of Story is a unique place where all kids will want to imagine themselves! The action and suspense are all there and the question remains whether or not Story can be saved or if The End will come! Scenarios I never imagined occurred and the ending will not be at all what you expected! Characters have to decide once and for all whose side they are on and whether or not they will be a hero! A fabulous conclusion to the story, this series is truly what any middle grader on up will love to read!
Rating: Middle grade/action/fantasy
