Cover:  I love this cover.  The covers for this series are just stunning! Some of my favourites.

This series is amazing!  
Book 5 in The Land of Stories was one of my most highly anticipated releases of this year.
And I wasn't disappointed.  The series just goes from strength to strength.  Chris Colfer has created such a beautiful and diverse world that completely absorbs me while I'm reading.  The characters are delightful, and in each book we meet more.
A series that I recommend to everyone, and now I have to wait an age for the next book!
5/5 stars.
