This is the second book featuring the Sisters Grimm and takes place roughly three years after the first book. The story is full of action, magic, and tragedy. Contemporary fantasy lovers will swoon over this book. The pacing is good, the character development is wonderful and I can honestly say that I want more of the sisters! The story really tugs at your soul - what are you willing to do for love?

I think I liked this one as much as the first. It’s slow, and doesn’t seem like much happens. It’s written well and the story is good. Characters are likable enough. It’s not really like anything else I’ve read, kinda weird but in a good way I think? Anyway, a solid 3 stars!

This is a great sequel to Sisters Grimm, and is quite the departure from other books in this genre because the writing style is quite unique. But overall I felt it was a good read, with interesting characters and strong themes of sisterhood and family. If you liked the first book in the series, you're bound to like this one too.

The subject matter of this book is a little odd. However, at its core, it is about family and friends and how important those relationships are. I enjoyed it, but it took me a while to get through it.

This book just wasn't a good fit for me. I had to DNF about 30% in. I didn't enjoy the writing style or the story. There was nothing about this book that pulled me in, leaving me without a desire to keep going. I don't have a lot of critical things to say other than the book wasn't for me.

This is my review for the ebook arc of this book. I recieved this from Avon and Harper Voyager off for the US release date of this sequel.

I struggled to get through this one. Not because of the content or characters. But because of the writing style which is very flowy if I had to describe it. But then again it was new to me since I hadn't read the first book of this series either. It speaks a lot that I didn't get lost in this one.

That said I love the stories focus on the three Sisters Grimmm in this one. And how it wove older tales of caution to reflect their life. Goldie, Liyana and Scarlett are the bravest women who are maturing. In their own ways and that makes each of there daily lifes unique and of course relatable. I went into this earc without having read the first book and loved every second of story. Not to mention the seceret magical life in Everwhere that they have, which is beautiful

I generally enjoy this author. However, I found this book difficult to get into. The characters and plot were confusing. I tried, but couldn't finish reading this book.

Thanks to the author, publishers and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this. This is my honest review.

In this sequel to The Sisters Grimm,, it is three years after the battle, and the Grimm Sisters are approaching their 21st birthday. Goldie has been unable to move on since the battle and the subsequent loss of the love of her life during that battle. While the other sisters have done their best to move on with their lives, Goldie is still fixated on her loss. So when the sisters discover Goldie plans to try to resurrect Leo by sacrificing a human life, they ban together to try to stop her .Something goes terribly wrong however, and Scarlet begins showing signs of being possessed by an evil spirit. With their lives at stake, the sisters realize they must confront their personal trauma, make amends with the past, and once again prepare for a demonic fight to come. On the night of their birthday, battle ensues . . . and tragedy strikes once more.
I really enjoyed The Sisters Grimm and was excited to see there was a sequel. Although I felt the first book was slightly better, this one was still amazing. You wouldn't necessarily have to have read the first book in order to enjoy this book, because the author did a really good job explaining everything. I had forgotten a lot of what I had read in the first book, and I didn't feel at all lost. They are definitely both worth reading though, if you are a fan of fantasy fiction. I highly recommend it!

Night of Demons and Saints feels like a fantastic sequel. It continues exploring the threads of love, sisterhood, and power from The Sisters Grimm. At the same time, it becomes a story about sacrifice. Do we really have what it takes to sacrifice for love? Whatever it demands. And, if we do, is that really love? Because - to me- that's what Night of Demons and Saints comes down to. It begins with a foretold storm. With this idea of something coming and they aren't sure how they will weather it again. But one of my favorite elements was the way Night of Demons and Saints deals with loss.

How we can be trapped in our memories and faded desires. The ways the past and loss can leave us listless and unable to move forwards. von Praag tackles this issue in a variety of ways as characters contend with their loss - of a loved one, of expectations - and as they are asked what they will do about it. Additionally, Night of Demons and Saints is infused with stories which gives it a fairy tale vibe. They weave in and out of the story and character arc in a truly unique way.

Rating: 4/5

I received an eARC of this book for my honest review

The Night of Demons and Saints is the sequel to Sisters Grimm. It takes place three years after the end of book one, and we see Goldie, Liyana and Scarlett coming up to their 21st birthdays. The three sisters live very different lives, but all are filled with pain and suffering. They’re all forced to overcome their trauma they have all faced in order to come together to fight a demon reeking of tragedy in the Everywhere.

This book was written very well, beautiful descriptions made it easy to picture what they were talking about. However, the first of the book was very slow paced for me, then about 60% of the book picked up pace and a lot happened. I can understand the reasons for it being slow in the beginning, it laid out the sisters' individual stories and really gave you the chance to connect with them or even just one of them. I do, however, wish that it wouldn’t have taken so long to get to the second half of the book. With that being said, the pace did not stop me from finishing the book through because I was involved in their stories.

I thought the characters each had their own parts of them that everyone can relate to, the feelings of not being enough, not able to be loved, not able to move on from a loved ones passing, and betrayal. That is why I found each sister to be relatable with, I found a kinship with them.

This book is different from my normal fantasy books I read, but I enjoyed it because for me it was about sisterhood and remembering that you have people out there willing to help you through the hardships instead of going through it alone.

I want to thank NetGalley and Avon & Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is the sequel to the Sisters Grimm, taken place 3 years after the sisters have defeated their demonic father.

Once again Praag will be spiriting us off to the enchanting world of Everwhere, where unfortunately, that is where the enchantment ends.

Let us begin:

Goldie, Liyana, and Scarlet are still wallowing away with grief, depression, and sadness (from book 1) instead of preparing to celebrate their 21st birthday.

Not only is it their 21st birthday, but it is also when their powers will be set free fully.

Goldie is so downtrodden over Leo, that she has come up with a convoluted plan to bring him back to life. However, her plan involves using a living sacrifice.

Liyana accidently stumbles across Goldies plan and talks her out of it, by convincing her that she will help her as long as it does not involve a live sacrifice.

Goldie acquiesces however reluctantly but agrees with Liyana.

The girls return to Everwhere, where things just go from bad, to worse.

Certain things just are not meant to be fixed, and this is one of those times.

Bringing back what was lost, just should have stayed lost.

Liyana already depressed and lonely is missing KoKo terribly. Then to top it off, Liyana is devastated by her aunt.

Scarlett has Eli, but she is not really happy at all, because she believes he is hiding things from her.

Goldie more depressed now than ever, cannot get Bea out of her ear. She is like a mosquito that you want to swat, but it just keeps coming back.

Then theirs that Teddy…. The teenage terror, who just needs a parent to snatch a knot in his tail.

Instead of the sisters sticking together, leaning on each other, being there for one another, they are not.

Each one is growing further, and further apart. Head in the sand because of their own personal dark cloud of depression and loneliness.

Until circumstances involving one of them “FORCES” them to wake up and realize that they truly are

“Stronger Together.”

Praag gives us a slow burn with Nights of Demons and Saints, however her prose is so beautifully written, and flowed so seamlessly you barely notice.

There was no feeling of sluggish boredom to the slow burn, you do not feel as if you want to stop reading the novel.

This character driven novel is impressively depicted, the characters are true to life, and the situations portrayed have real life themes.

The novel in of itself, with its fantastical realism, was a job well done.

My only con is as others have stated: Dealing with that one particular part, “It should have been managed with DELICATE HANDS” end rant.

Overall “WONDERFUL” sequel!

Kudos!

Thank you, NetGalley/Avon and Harper Voyager.Harper Voyager/ For this eARC for my honest opinion. Any review given is of my own volition.

Something different from what I usually read however a really fun read I really enjoyed it and will definitely read again
