El anterior estaba mejor.

The first book I bought online because it was missing from my trilogy and I really wanna have it!
Once again Elisabetta made fall in love with her writting and charaacters!

I was nervous going into this, because this series was one of my faves as a child and recently I reread the first book which was a big disappointment. But surprisingly I enjoyed this one. It was whimsical and had this magical fairytale vibe. Now I am actually excited for the final book.

2 capitolo palesemente fatto per mettere giusto giusto qualche info.
Non dico che non mi sia piaciuto, come vibe e stile scrittorio siamo praticamente allo stello livello del precedente.
MA
Devo dire che a sto giro Pervinca mi ha fatto girare un pochino le palle. Non credo che manco da piccola sarei riuscita a sopportarla.
Il problema principale della sorella "Buia" è il più completo disinteresse verso chiunque. Per tutto il libro ha continuato a fare casini a caso e prendendosela spesso anche con la sorella, cuoricina Vaniglia che voleva solo parlare con le sue amichette e fare le coroncine di fiori.
Carini i capitoli sulla battaglia, per un* ragazzin* che si appresta a leggere per le prime volte un libro fantasy è sicuramente stra coinvolgente come narrazione!

Come sempre la scrittura di Elisabetta Gnone non delude!

To me this book suffers a bit form the middle book syndrome, I just didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. First of all, we get 2 stories, one in the present with the twins, and the story of the Ancient Book. The latter would be good, if it actually went somewhere, but it ends at an awkward moment, leaving more disappointment than actual suspense. All the while auntie stressing at every turn how it's the most important story of Fairy Oak. If that's all the story we learn, it's mighty little to call it the most important story ever.

I would've liked if there was more actual story and meaning to the Ancient Book, if we spent so much of the book centered around it. And of course, the twins are still not acting like 10-year-olds, which is just so off-putting. My mind keeps trying to age them up, then at some point we get a reference to their ages again, and I'm bumped out of the story.

Also, the Enemy shows up on June 21, and the last book concludes with December 21. The twins were born October 31, and we get nothing about their birthdays, celebrations, not even a mention, in this book or the next. I felt like that was sorely missing, especially if they are supposed to be so young.
