Never After: The Thirteenth Fairy
Never After: The Thirteenth Fairy | Melissa de la Cruz
8 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
Real life and fairy tales collide in Never After: The Thirteenth Fairy, book one in the new middle-grade Never After series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Descendants series, Melissa de la Cruz. Nothing ever happens in Filomena Jefferson-Cho’s sleepy little suburban town of North Pasadena. The sun shines every day, the grass is always a perfect green, and while her progressive school swears there’s no such thing as bullying, she still feels bummed out. But one day, when Filomena is walking home on her own, something strange happens. Filomena is being followed by Jack Stalker, one of the heroes in the Thirteenth Fairy, a series of books she loves about a brave girl and her ragtag group of friends who save their world from an evil enchantress. She must be dreaming, or still reading a book. But Jack is insistent—he’s real, the stories are real, and Filomena must come with him at once! Soon, Filomena is thrust into the world of evil fairies and beautiful princesses, sorcerers and slayers, where an evil queen drives her ruthless armies to destroy what is left of the Fairy tribes. To save herself and the kingdom of Westphalia, Filomena must find the truth behind the fairytales and set the world back to rights before the cycle of sleep and destruction begins once more.

This one was a fun, rapid read. Had me giggling throughout, and I liked Jack's magic vines. I do wish there would have been more detail about those magic vines, and maybe more use of them. The main character's true identity seemed apparent from the beginning, yet maybe it was all about the journey and not the mystery. The only thing missing, at least for me, was a map at the beginning of the book. That's just me, I like studying fantasy maps.

I really liked this one - a smooth and easy read, not too deep for a beach read. Even though it is aimed at teenagers I really liked the idea of an alternative of our common fairy tales.

I really like the author uses word plays - this is my kind of humour. 😂

Since we have a long weekend off - it is the end of Ramadan - I started another easy beach-read. 😊

ARC: out Nov. 30, from the author of The Descendants series. Filomena cannot wait for the 13th installment of her favorite book series to come out. She goes to buy it and learns that there will be no book because the author is long gone. Filomena meets Jack Stalker and the real world and the fairy tale world soon collide. Fun to read and mixes today‘s world with the fairy tale characters that we all know. Chapters are the perfect length.

In case you missed it, De La Cruz signed a huge deal with disney for all sorts of things. This is the next book. I am looking forward to it, but to be honest, I could not get into the decendents.

Out December 1
