This is the second book in the "Half Upon a Time" series. I think the 1st book flowed better, but this second book was pretty interesting too. I love the dynamics between Jack, May and Phillip. Phillip is the polite one, May is the driving force and Jack is there to help his friends. The quest this time is to save the Fairy Homeland from being destroyed by the dragons. Most of the queen fairies have been put to sleep by a spell, so the only one left is in the land of never. Wonderful read. Can't wait to read the next book in the series "Once Upon the End". Summarize the book without giving away the ending. Jack May and Philip travel on another life changing journey. Jack find himself along with May and Philip. What did you think of the main character? It switched POVs unlike the last book. I would say that May’s sarcasm and quit whit really make the book while Jack’s one liners made me laugh. Overall they were two really cute and fun characters that I would love to know in real life. Which character could you relate to best? Jack. Why? Sometimes I feel like I can’t do anything right too. Were there any other especially interesting characters? King Wolf is still my favorite villain. From whose point of view is the story told? Jack and May’s. Were the characters and their problems believable? No, they are fairytales. :) How did the main character change during the novel? They figured out who they were and what they were destined to be. What was the book's central question, and how was it answered? Who is May and where is she from? Did you learn something new from the book? You can always find yourself with the help of people you love. Was the book different from what you expected? Yes. Was location important to the story? Without a castle, an angry pirate, and a sea filled with merman would their even be a fairytale? Was the time period important to the story? NoWhat alternative title would you choose for this book? I wouldn’t. Share a favorite scene from the book. When the wolf king was sent to capture the three kids. He had an army full of goblins to catch who he deemed “Children.”What did you like most about the book? There was always an upside, even when you thought there was no way the characters would get out of the predicament they were in. What did you like least? The way everyone kept putting Jack down. Did you like the way the book ended? No, it made me cry. What do you think will be your lasting impression of this book? Friends are always supportive but you can only ever depend on family. What did you think of the cover? I didn’t like that it didn’t match the first edition of the first book. They reprinted the first book but now I have to buy that one as well. Would you recommend this book? Yes. How would you rate it? ***(Three out of four stars- I really hated the way it ended)
What do You think about Twice Upon A Time (2000)?
It was a good book, but I found it frustrating. If you read it you'll see what I mean.
