A Tale of Sorcery book cover A Tale of Sorcery by Chris Colfer reviewed by Bella Woodruff, grade 6, Whitefish Middle School.

In the book A Tale of Sorcery by Chris Colfer you will experience ups and downs of action, adventure, and wonder.

When you read a good book you usually keep reading to find out what’s next, the climax, the solution, the ending, but in this book it’s like a murder mystery. Not only is there suspense but that feeling when your heart starts to race and you want to keep flipping pages until you find out what happens, that is this book in a fantasy, fairy-tale world. You may think that fantasy is not for you, that it’s filled with magic, and princesses, and fairies, and talking animals, but if it was I would tell you so, you need to read this book.

It will most likely make much more sense if you read the previous edition to the series including, ‘A Tale of Magic,’ and ‘A Tale of Witchcraft’, and if you finish the series you should read The Land of Stories series, a sequel by the same author, to keep reading the amazing story.

My favorite character in the book is Xanthous Hayfield, a fairy with a specialty for fire. In the book Xanthous must face his own challenges as his life is put at risk.

So what’s this book even about? A group of young fairies must face tons of emotional, physical, and mental challenges in the book in order to restore peace to the world around them after a new evil threatens to conquer all that’s left. Could you imagine? So much is at stake; so many different problems and suspenseful adventures all coming together to help save the world. Will they make it in time? You’ll have to read the book to discover what will happen.
