OVERALL RATING 7.4/10
This is sort of the opposite of my usual reviews for kids' books. Usually, my problem is that the idea was good but there wasn't enough emotion, but not this time. There was a perfect amount of emotion in this book, and I though that it was actually very well done in that way. My problem with it, though, was the extremely annoying fairy stereotypes. There are only three shades/colors in the illustrations; pink, black, and white. Everything to do with fairies is pink, and the fairy school is even shaped like a cupcake with hearts and stars for windows. This annoyed me so much!! I guess some people might not mind it, but the fairy stereotypes made it really hard for me to enjoy the book.
PROS
Good emotions
Good plot
Relatable for kids, even though it is fantasy
CONS
The fairy stereotypes are just SO annoying
NOTES
I have only read the first book, since it is a series.
