Grimm Legacy submitted by nanaha yamamoto on June 11, 2012, 2:47pm This book is great. People who believes in magic should read it. (3rd grade~5th Grade)

Fun fantasy submitted by emjane on August 9, 2013, 9:07am Elizabeth is just happy to have the chance to earn some extra money when her history teacher sets her up with a job at the New York Circulating Material Repository. When she discovers that the library is home to several magic artifacts—and that someone may be trying to steal them—the job becomes that much more exciting.

Though readers may not expect excitement from a book where the majority of action takes place in a library, The Grimm Legacy is remarkably fast-paced, avoiding the exposition-heavy descriptions often found in the fantasy genre. The characters are likable, but rather one-dimensional, making some of their actions predictable. Despite some of the anticipated plot-points, Grimm Legacy is a novel concept well executed.

Recommended.
