I'm pretty much only still reading this series out of sheer perseverance to complete the storyline and find out what happens to everyone. I need my 'happily ever after'. However, Buckley is just stretching it out for all it's worth, probably literally.
Pros: Sabrina finally gets some character development. All she has been up until now is an angry pre-teen. There haven't been any moments of true understanding or growth; little flickers, maybe, that quickly get extinguished by retu...more

Overall, I really really loved this book.
It had danger, consequences, huge reveals, and character development.
I needed to know what was going to happen and I was satisfied with the results although I saw most of them coming but not overtly obvious. There was one major plot point that I completely missed and was shocked to discover. Things just got real, y'all.
There was one scene in the book which threatened to knock at least a half star off but enough space came bet...more

My kids and I are probably a little demented but we LOVE this series and laugh at all the awkward moments between Puck and Sabrina for they are just so much fun. So often my kids and I listen to books that are so serious and young adult, but a little more complex or mature. This is just great for the story is complex yet the humor is appropriate (and even a little immature -- pegausus fed chili dogs and prune juice for a week!) It is a continuation of the Master VS the Grimm Family and in thi...more
I know these books are for kids, but it sure strikes me that the publisher is trying to milk this series for as much cash as possible. This is less a series than one story spread over at least 8 hardcover books (at $16 a pop). The whole thing would probably fill less real pages than an average Harry Potter book. The problem for me is that this format just makes the story drag, so it's not sustaining my interest.

An open rant:
I could get really detailed in my review, talking about the prose, strengths of writing or not, and the handling or failing to handle subtle plot points.
But why? Just because I think these books are great does not make them so, but to detail everything that is wrong with them would not help anyone's experience. In my opinion, at least.
It's not the best one out of the series, yet, but I'm not giving up hope. Have you ever read something that ...more

I read this book months ago. I was eager to to find out who the "Master" was. I was suprized but at the same time it made a lot of sense. Shortly after the story begins we finally see Sabrina's parents wake up. I hate that they don't show the family's reaction to their waking up. Sabrina runs away when she thinks they have failed and doesn't realized it worked until her parents come to her rescue.
We see the parents reactions to what their lives have been while they were asleep. ...more

The Everafter War’ by Michael Buckley is the sequel to the sixth book in the Sister’s Grimm series, ‘Tales From the Hood.’ In the seventh book, Daphne and her older sister Sabrina have gotten into more mishap and magic than before. With their parents finally awake from the spell, the Scarlet Hand has already taken over Ferryport Landing. After being asleep for nearly two years, the parents are confused of what is going on. The Grimm family will have to join forces with the ex mayor of Ferryport ...more
This series has its good points -- female protagonists, some cool characters, humor. And its bad points -- too much action, too many characters, uncertainty of tone, chaos.
This particular book is all about a war, so it's a lot of battles and well, that was the most boring of the LotR movies, so I certainly think it's the most boring of these books. Also, Puck is getting increasingly gross. If this series is trying to be aimed at girls, or girls and boys, it's leaning a little too hea...more

The moment Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have been waiting for has finally arrived - their parents have been awoken from their magical slumber. But it is not the joyful reunion they imagined it to be. They are in the middle of a fairy tale war and must decide if they will step up and fight.

After spending two years in an enchanted sleep, Sabrina and Daphne's parents have finally woken up. The happy reunion that Sabrina has always envisioned turns out a little differently. Two years have passed in which they have been through many things. They are not the same girls their parents knew, but it takes time for Henry, Veronica, Sabrina and Daphne to get used to each other again. Meanwhile it's quite a surprise for Henry and Veronica to wake up in a Ferryport Landing that is preparing fo...more
Thank goodness for Puck. He's gross and dirty, but at least he kept this war-themed book light and fun. Sabrina and Daphne's parents have finally woken from their deep sleep spell but things aren't all roses and lollipops like the girls had hoped. In this book we finally found out the identity of The Master - not shocking but an interesting twist. And Pinocchio's army of marionettes may possibly be the creepiest minions ever. This wasn't our favorite book in the series but we're looking for...more
Great, just like the rest of the series. I loved that the girls did what their parents said, even if they disagreed. It's much more realistic that way. TV likes to have these "Children Rebellions", but from what I've seen there's more arguing as the kids reluctantly do what they're supposed to. And I liked that even though Sabrina and Daphne are right, it's easy to understand why their dad wants to leave as soon as possible, especially since the last time he saw his daughters they ...more
What I thought was going to be a rousing finale to the series(from the horse's mouth at a book signing....)was another rousing, tantalizing crest with the dreaded, "to be continued..."
Having read through the first five books and now books six and seven for the first time, I have enjoyed how the characters have been very consistent and how Everyafters have joined the present. And I was surprised how much I dislike Sabrina! She's a reall pill! LOL! But then she probably gets tha...more

I read this in all hopes and anticipation of this being the last book. I quite enjoyed the beginning of the series, I think the author did a pretty good job at setting up the story, it is very creative, I enjoy the characters, etc... I just feel like dragging this on to more books is now just dragging out the series. I am now just sticking with it because I want to see the happily ever after ending. I was really looking forward to this being the last book, but alas, my hopes were dashed. Bet...more
In this review I am going to write about The Everafter War by: Michael Buckley. In Sisters Grimm 7 all of the characters in the book have a big war: the ever afters versus the red hand. Sabrina and Daphne fight in the war with Prince Charming being the leader of the ever afters. the maaster is the leader of the red hand. Their are more people in the red hand than their are ever afters. But somehow the ever afters figure out a way to win a couple of battles here and there. Whilke they are f...more
I'm starting to dread the end of this series. I've gotten so attached to these characters and the stories behind them that it's going to be like loosing a best friend when the series is done. I mean, because I was so interested in Puck and his story, I read A Midsummer's Night Dream and I loved it because I had that other connection to the book. In the 6th book I believe it was King Oberon, Queen Titania, Moth, and one of the other faries from the play were in the Sisters Grimm too. I think it's...more

These are just light fluffy juvenile reading. I am 8th in the hold queue at my local library for book 8, which said "To be concluded" at the end (when I peaked because someone else had it) instead of "To be continued." I assume that means #9 will be the last. I recommend waiting until it is out to read the series because I have read it over such a long period of time that I have a hard time remembering whether the over arching plot is clever and full of hints or not.
After a two year long magic-induced sleep, Henry and veronica Grimm are finally united with their daughters Sabrina and Daphne. Henry is less than pleased to find himself back in Ferryport Landing with his estranged family. He doesn't have long to be affronted. War between the Ever Afters looms. Those loyal to the dreaded Scarlet Hand are eager to fight and promise to take no prisoners. The Grimm family seeks refuge with Prince Charming in his rebel camp. The rebels have little success against t...more
This was an amazing book I could not put down ,literally, I read this book in one sitting. It had everything I wanted in it and all the characters I love!
Through out the book it seems the end is near. The wars are on and everafters are going to the scarlet hand. But, who is the Master and why is he doing this? Will Sabrina and Daphane's parents wake? In this book that and more is revealed! It is definently worth reading.

I like that they did not prolong and excruciatingly drag out the part about the sleeping parents and the mystery of the Master of the Red Hand. Doing so progresses the story and really grows the characters. The arguments within the family are difficult to read simply because I can feel the tension, but it's very real.
The identity of the spy in the rebel camp is more obvious if you've read Fables

The Everafters are at war and the Grimm family has been pulled right into it. The Scarlet Hand has taken over Ferryport Landing and those who refuse to join up with the evil army have been driven back to Prince Charming's Fort where they are trying to train as soldiers. Sabrina and Daphne are thrilled when they finally get their parents back, but nothing is going quite the way Sabrina wanted. Not only does the Scarlet Hand want them dead, but her parents are fighting, Puck continues to tormen...more

These books have really grown on me. They tell the story of two sisters who find out the stories told by ancestors, the brothers Grimm, were really about real life "everafter" characters. They are charged with keeping the family legacy alive of keeping these fairy tale creatures out of trouble. My two tweens also love this series and we had to fight over who got to read this recent release first.
I was the happiest person in the world when I saw this book on the shelf at the library! I can't wait to read number 8!!! I still can't believe that the leader of the scarlet hand is who he is, I can't believe what happened with Sabrina and Daphene's parents,and I can't believe what happens at the end of the book!!! I know this is probably keeping you in super Duper suspense(it should be!), but I don't want to spoil the book!!!
My favorite book of the series, THE EVERAFTER WAR is definitely five stars! I don't want to spoil the book, but I'll tell you this much: Michael Buckley kept his readers in suspense while trying to think of a good ending. It was a while before the stores got it shelved, but the seventh book was worth the wait! The plot is juicy and the adventure is definitely the core of the story. Have Sabrina and Daphne finally gotten what they wanted most in life? Will they FINALLY meet the Master, and reveal...more
Haha! Not really sure why I like this series so much. It isn't really well written, the plot isn't original and even a little much on the see-through side, and it's not like the characters are particularly incredible- minus Puck of course, he is incredible. So...why do I like it so much? *shrugs* Well, even if I can't say why I liked it, I can definitely say that I did! I wanted to say that these books were for second graders when I first started them, but for some reason they are becoming a hug...more
So far the most exciting book. Sabrina's and Dapne's parents are finally awakened but the Everafters must now face the battle between the Scarlet Hand and their master. I was surprised when the identity of the master was revealed and that through the first six books I hadn't picked up on the twist that could change the whole direction of this story. Fun, well written and left me wanting number 8.

“Puck swung the cannon around in anger. The nozzle spun and hit Sabrina in the chest. The force was so pawerful she was knocked right off the platform and fell backward off the tower. She saw sky above her and felt the wind in her hair. How ironic, she thought, as she fell to her certain death, that at that moment she would have given anything to be a giant goose again.
Air rushed past Sabrina's ears and suddenly she felt her back tingling again. A moment later she was hanging upside down, inches from the ground. She looked up to find her savior, only to find that her her wasn't a person but a long, furry tail sticking out of the back of her pants. It was wrapped around a beam in the tower a kept her swinging there like a monkey.
Puck floated down to her, his wings flapping softly enough to allow him to hover.
"I bet you think this is hilarious. Look what you did to me with your stupid pranks. I have a tail!" she raged.
Puck's face was trembling. "I'm sorry."
"What?" Sabrina said blankly.
"I almost killed you. I'm sorry, Sabrina," he said, rubbing his eyes on his filthy hoodie. He lifted her off the tower and set her on the ground.
"Since when do you care?" Sabrina said, still stunned by the boy's apology.”

Hiding, I guess."
Puck leaned down and poked his head under the seat. "I found you."
Ms. Smirt shrieked.
Puck lifted himself up to his full height and laughed. "She's fun."
He leaned back down and she screamed again. "I could do this all day. Can I keep her?”
