Review: The Giant Slayer by Isabella Fontaine & Ken Brosky

The Giant Slayer by Isabella Fontaine & Ken Brosky
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Europe: birthplace of Grimms' Fairy Tales. An unfamiliar land, brimming with its own breed of Corrupted who hide in the shadows, growing more evil with each passing day. For modern-day hero Alice Goodenough, this is more than enough to worry about. But she also has a fencing tournament to think about.

And a promise to keep with Sam Grayle, a Corrupted dwarf who schemes for more and more wealth. When their train breaks down in a small town in eastern Hungary, Alice finds the legacy of the hero is alive and well. Corrupted have visited this town before, and they aren't quite vanquished just yet. There's one left, hiding away, biding his time to enact a terrible price on his enemies. A little creature with big, big plans ...

Werewolves. Vampires. Giants. Europe is a different place with new dangers, new monsters and new surprises.

My Thoughts:

The Giant Slayer is book 7 in the Grimm Chronicles. Alice is once again dealing with the Corrupted. No matter where she goes or what she does, there is always a Corrupted out to ruin her day.

I absolutely love this series. I guess the best way to describe it is that the series is like Buffy vs corrupted fairy tale characters. Alice is out to eliminate the corrupted fairy tales characters. Even the ones that once were good have been corrupted since their story ended. Armed with a magic pen and knowledge of these fairy tales, Alice has to track them down and eliminate them one by one.

The series keeps getting better and better. The authors' make me want to know what happens next. I have no clue what will happen next but I am sure I will enjoy it as these two have an excellent imagination. If you read any book in the series, you won't be disappointed.
