This franchise, and Shannon Hale, could do way more. And the Ever Afters don't know about Santa Claus? What?! At this point I really hope there will be someday an Ever After High tale about the North Pole Village or something! I was hexpecting an amazing yarn to enjoy, but the only things I enjoyed are the less frequent than usual clever sentences and the references to the Santa Claus daughter, which isn't enough in two lines at most. This was an utter disappointment for me! I hextremely love the Ever After High series (even though I have yet to read the School Stories) and I don't fancy the Monster High one - my interest is directed toward fairy tales - but this new installment is totally bland, vaguely boring and, really, the shadow of the previous books by Shannon Hale.įew wordplays and fairytale references (but there aren't fairy tale characters here, a part from Apple, Raven, Maddie, Kitty and the Evil Queen, indeed), and a confusing and very simple plot make this book tedious to read. I did! Review also posted on Instagram Library Thing, and my blog at. There is an awesome section that turns the story into a choose your own adventure, I recommend you try them all. After discovering one another in storage ways they are forced to ban together to save their friend Madeline Hatter and ultimately the storybook world. And of course no story is complete without an Evil Queen. Monster High characters Frankie and Draculaura are vividly described first and a few chapters later you meet Apple White and Raven Queen. Brooke Page narrates this book without even graduating from high school and quickly describes footnotes and how they work. □□□□□ I was so excited to read this book that when I received it I read it straight through without setting it down! Amazingly written to trap your attention in several stories and situations at once. I received the ARC of The Legend of Shadow High by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale from #kidlitexchange to read in exchange for an honest review.
