A Tale of Witchcraft... (A Tale of Magic..., 2)

I've been reading these books, all of them (we are now on the last, as of today, in the series, Tale of Sorcery), to my 5th and 8th grade children. (I know--the books are so interesting, they still, at this age, like to hear the stories read to them. Well, that's not totally true. The 8th grader has been reading to himself since we finished the original 5-book series together a year ago.) We love them. Great messages. So interesting. Great plots and turns along the way. As a side note, I'm a child developmental psychologist. I think these are wonderful books for kids. Recommend them highly--to kids of all ages. The last one, a tale of witchcraft, about the Righteous Brotherhood, is almost too, eerily linked to political events of the day, that its wild to read a story with no reference to today's politics, but that communicates the same issues, concerns, and potential resolutions.

I have to admit this series of books are addictive. I sure hope they become either a show or movies. I'm 49 and I am extremely impressed by how the author keeps you curious and intrigued. Great young adult books and even older adults who love fantasy will love these.

My 9 year old has been waiting and waiting and waiting for this second book to come out. She's obsessed and doesn't want to put it down. She hasn't been interested in screen time, or anything else since it arrived really. All she wants to do is sit and read this book, she's had it for 4 days and is nearly done with it. Great fantasy and story! Highly recommend this and The Tale of Magic.

All of Chris Colfer's books have been a glorious read. They've also been our standard recommendation to families whose kids (or adults) don't like to read. It sucks them in and turns them into readers. We like that he doesn't tell you about the adventures, you go along with the characters on them. Though told in the world of imagination and fantasy, the humanity and relatability makes you feel like you're safe with old friends sharing experiences you'll take with you into your old age.

This was the best book in my opinion, because it has the most descriptive writing I've ever read, and is 👍 good for all ages. My favourite books are from Chris Colfer and I've never read anything better! This book is original and highly developed. I would recommend this book to big fantasy readers, and I would say this book is suitable for all ages.

Bristol is now known as the Fairy Godmother. The weight of helping the kingdoms and leading magic users is difficult, but when Bristol starts to hear a negative voice in her head, things get worse. This is the second book in the Tale of Magic series and like the first it is darker in tone than the Land of Stories series. This is a middle grade fantasy. It is well written and engaging. I listened to the audiobook read by the author. He does an excellent job. Mistress Mara, the witch is fairly scary. Lucy is still pretty annoying. Bristol is pretty responsible and able to lead pretty happily until she is hit by negative self-talk and kind of a depression. There is a secret society, the 333, that makes itself known trying to keep magic from being further accepted. It feels like it addresses issues faced by many a society throughout history where what is different is feared, and there are those that will try to enforce their narrow view on others. There are some inspiring words spoken toward the end about life having a purpose that are very inspiring. I felt better for having read this book. Thanks Chris Colfer for a lovely story.

I really like this book because it is just so exciting and you just NEED to finish it or you couldn’t stop thinking about it.I was even dreaming about it last night,and I was thinking about it at recess for the whole time!I strongly recommend this book for everyone that enjoys adventure.(Ivory, age 9)

This story and the previous one ( A Tale of Magic) are must reads! Our family has laughed and cried together. It touches on so many important topics while being fun and whimsical. My kids all love it! I decided to purchase both books to help ease boredom during quarantine and they did not disappoint!

あっという間に読み終わりました。前シリーズから読んでいるため、著者の描く魔法の世界に親しみを感じるようになりました。次の巻でどう展開するのか楽しみです。

Great book to read! I loved the plot and the excitement brought to the reader during the story. It was also so interesting to learn about the witchcraft! The use of death and the story was SO deep, and I loved how it was incorparated into the plot! I also loved the small reference to the Land Of Stories- it was my favourite part. I don't know how Chris Colfer does it! Definitely read this book- crossing my fingers for another sequel!!!!

very good story. I am French and it's a great book to keep learning english.Easy to read and very entertaining. All the characters are different and the description is well done. I can't wait to read the next book of their adventure. Don't hesitate to read it. You won't regret it. Great book, excellent writer.

This series is an excellent read for children and adults. You’ll love it!!

Quick delivery and a good read
