Brother Grimm Book Review

So for this week’s review, I decided to do the second place winner for the poll I had on my Twitter and do Brother Grimm book review. Since there are so many Brother Grimm tales to talk about, I decided to pick a book that I read 3 years ago that had a collection of them: Grim, edited by Christine Johnson as this collection features 17 authors. These stories are based off the fairy tales collected by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm.

If you are a fan of adaptations, fairy tales & folklore, fantasy & magic, paranormal, short stories or young adult stories, this collection is for you.

Here are the list of 17 short stories:

• The Key by Rachel Hawkins
• Figment by Jeri Smith-Ready
• The Twelfth Girl by Malinda Lo
• The Raven Princess by Jon Skovron
• Thinner than Water by Saundra Mitchell
• Before the Rose Bloomed: A Retelling of The Snow Queen by Ellen Hopkins
• Beast/Beast by Tessa Gratton
• The Brothers Piggett by Julie Kagawa
• Untethered by Sonia Gensler
• Better by Shaun David Hutchinson
• Light it Up by Kimberly Derting
• Sharper than a serpent’s Tongue by Christine Johnson
• A Real Boy by Claudia Gray
• Skin Trade by Myra McEntire
• Beauty and the Chad by Sarah Rees Brennan
• The Pink: A Grimm Story by Amanda Hocking
• Sell Out by Jackson Pearce

To summarize these stories, some were good, some were okay, some were a little confusing, some were crazy. All in all, this is a good book that is still sitting in my cart waiting to be one of my books on my shelves.
