Before you pick this book up let me warn you that it's a big book. Now that may seem really obvious but with the world of e-books it's not as obvious as it used to be. With a paperback it's pretty obvious the bigger the book the longer the story. But with ebooks it's not really the same.
Story Sparks thinks she's just a normal girl at college. She has her besties Adam and Elliot and life is pretty good. Story is on break from college so her and Adam decide to spend the day hiking. Before they get anywhere Elliot turns up insisting that Story needs him, that she's in trouble and he's there to help her. After she calms him down they all spend the day together but after a swim in the lake they end up in another world.
Here Story is forced to remember who she is and what happened to her many years before. Everyone is telling her that she must save the worlds from crumbling. Story doesn't quite believe she is who everyone else think's she is. To her she's just a normal college girl. She can't save the world.
She is forced to start a journey with her besties and this mysterious warrior to save the worlds. Firstly she must overthrow Brink who has taken it upon himself to rule this land. As the journey continues she is joined by many other characters who will wage a war with Brink to help Story to save he worlds.
There are many well known characters in this book but one that does stick out for me was Snow and Beauty. I absolutely loved the twist on their characters.
I really enjoyed this book.This book has a bit of everything. There are many moments that made me laugh and there were some when I wept. You instantly love the characters and you find yourself cheering Story and her gang on to win.
