One of our favorite book endings ever!
Olivia's review: I have to be honest, I was a little bit disappointed with this book. I've been keeping up with the series since book one, and have loved every single book progressively more as the series went on, but this one was a bit of a let down. That's not to say I didn't still love it and fly through it in a day - there was just a little bit of the usual magic in the series that was missing. That said, this was an incredible finale that I would highly recommend. This book is a real page-turner. In addition, I loved getting to see how each character's story ended, since many were highly anticipated (like what happens to Froggy). In general, though, I think the best part of this book is the beginning and the end. This really knocked the whole thing out of the park, making this one of my favorite book endings ever. The creativity is really what made it special; I've never seen anything like it before. Overall, a really great book that was originally a bit of a let down, but has a spectacularly memorable ending.Oscar's review: When I reread the first book in the Land of Stories series this year, I thought how much this series has adapted and evolved from the first book to the last. I thought about the characters and how they grew, and how it seems like we, the readers, have been actually reading about growing, changing people - Alex and Conner. When I finished the first chapter of WORLDS COLLIDE, I thought to myself This can't get any better. But I found myself saying the same thing after each chapter. Chris Colfer kept me on the edge of. my seat, always making me think I knew what was going to happen, but always proving me wrong. He also added amazing twists such as (Spoiler), being able to get out of the magic mirror by helping someone. Overall, this series, from beginning to end, is amazing.

Epically Entertaining
There are very few children's books out there that are meaningful, adventurous, and witty at the same time. This book and the entire series in general passes my criteria with flying colors. Chris Colfer weaves an entertaining story dappled with humor and suspense that keeps you turning the page at 4:30 am or whenever you think, "Just one more chapter."We first start with a meet-and-greet at a bookstore celebrating Mr. Bailey's 80th birthday. Mr. Bailey is, of course, Conner Bailey himself, so this is quite a time jump into the future. This chapter was amazingly written and absolutely necessary for many reasons, the first of which being the little phrases hinting at economical cars, paper not made from trees, and apparently illegal caffeine 65 years from now. (That's right, Starbucks lovers, get your caffeine fix while you still can.)But there's more! We find out that Bree Campbell and Conner were indeed happily married for fifty years. There is all-important information as well, such as old Conner becoming an astoundingly successful author or his faulty mind forgetting the whereabouts of his mysterious sister Alex. Other than the incredibly heartwarming chapter near the end that discusses the true meaning of happily ever after, this was by far my favorite chapter (and usually, I hate first chapters.)I won't reveal too much about the rest of the book, but Rook from book three does return and his loyalty to Alex was sweet, although I was Team Arthur all the way. Trollbella finds a new love, unexpectedly, and Bree and Conner finally discuss their relationship.This book then comes full circle with the appearance of John Bailey, the twins' dad. I won't say how, but it was an especially tearjerking chapter for me. It was an amazing conclusion to the amazing last book of the wonderful series, and I don't think the ending could have happened any other way.So I have just one final remark to put out there:Do you believe in magic?

Awesome Magical Adventure Series!
Alex and Conner adventures were summarized in book 6. The conclusion left me wanting MORE! Just like in life we are touched at times with sadness, good and evil, hope for a better tomorrow and the belief in Magic. The idea that Magic can be passed on from one generation to the next by simple opening a book into the Fairytale Kingdom is awesome! I believe there is magic in all living things beyond science and into the Universe. Reading the Land of Stories was the best Imaginable Magic of all!

Excellent Series
This is a 6 book series, but every book is as good as the other. Each one gives a short synopsis of the one or ones before it so you don't have to read them all, but you will want to. They are action-packed yet a really easy read. Great for middle school on up. I bought this set to put in my class but thought I should read it before putting it out. I'm glad I did.

Happily Ever After
A conclusion that is truly a Happily Ever After. My word this was everything I wanted it to be and more. This final book was the right amount of action, humor, and emotional. There were moments I found myself laughing out loud and even a couple moments where I found myself tearing up.Chris Colfer wrapped this story and world up so nicely but also he took some risks that paid off deeply. I enjoyed reading about Alex and Connor so much and am so saddened to see this magical story end but all good things must come to an end.Some highlights for me throughout this entire series were the creative twists done to the beloved fairy tales. Most importantly the best thing to come from this series is none other then Mother Goose. She has solidified her place as one of the best literary characters ever.My only downside was that books one and two followed a similar plot mechanic but that is just a personal preference Also I do realize that this series is geared for a much younger audience then myself.

Amazing!!!
I could not put this brilliant book down. It is full of so much adventure and mystery. I had recently being going through a phase where I wasn't reading much, but I finished this book within a few days. I would strongly reccommend this book to anyone who loves action and excitement, but if you haven't already read the first five books in The Land of Stories series some parts may not make too much sense.

Sad to see it end. Wonderful Journey
This was a fun series to read with my 8 year old girl at bedtime. Fairy tales, magic and adventures where the kids are the heroes! What's not to love. This series is well written and is very imaginative. Will keep adults entertained and kids engaged. Sad to see it end, but the author did well by the series with the ending. Would not be shocked if this becomes a tv series or movie one day.

No spoilers shall be found in this review
An epic end to an amazing series. For follow up there are other books. One of my most enjoyed ending of a series, in fact the best one. Lot of drama, imagination and emotion was in this book. Chris surely had to collect a lot of information for this book about NYC but I think he lives there so........I'll buy many more of his books as he has an overactive imagination that gives them a certain charm. Thank you Chris Colfer! Delivery was good and quick. Book was in good condition. In my opinion take hardcover as it is cheaper than softcover (this is the first time I'm seeing this too!)Waiting for more of his books. Must read for everyone of any age.
