We meet a whole host of fairytale characters, many with some added personality traits and it was so much fun! Especially Rapunzel was great, telling the princes to piss of as she is only 17 and has no interest in marrying, and also really doesn’t need to be rescued either. Tilly is quite naive at times, but otherwise a great protagonist (and not perfect, so that is great). There are politics and legends, and the world just extends so much (not only because we visit bookwanderers in a different country, but also new concepts, such as plot holes, are introduced). This book expands ever so well on the foundations build in the first book. They travel to Paris to visit Oskar’s father and discover that things in fairytales are going all wrong. Once again we follow Tilly and Oskar, who have the ability to go into books. Can Tilly work out who, or what, is behind the chaos so everyone gets their happily-ever-after? On a wintery visit to Paris, Tilly and her best friend Oskar bravely bookwander into the land of fairytales to find that characters are getting lost, stories are all mixed-up, and mysterious plot holes are opening without warning. But Tilly’s powers are put to the test when fairytales start leaking book magic and causing havoc. Tilly Pages is a bookwanderer she can travel inside books, and even talk to the characters she meets there.
