If the first book of the Accidental Turn series reminded me a lot of Lev Grosmann’s book The Magicians, then the second book of the series is a lot like Once Upon a Time TV series.

The first book ends when Pip and Forsyth are back in Pip’s world and meeting with the writer and … then in the second book, they are pulled back into Haine world, which means now they have to figure out, why they are there again, why in Pip’s world book are vanishing, why in Forsyth’s world stars are vanishing, who is this who is behind all this and how, if ever, will they get back.

So once again, they go on an adventure, but this time it’s not just Pip and Forsyth and now they are also on a hurry, since all stars have vanished, nobody knows what will happen.

This book version of Once Upon a Time is interesting, but just like TV series, some things are too easy, too predictable.

I didn't like part 1 of this series that much and so I was not to excited to start this part. Surprisingly it clicked! I liked it!

To me this part is obviously better, the story is better, the storytelling improved and I honestly enjoyed picking this book up. IMHO the author didn't try that hard in this part to prove herself, the writing is more fluent and honest.

Thumbs up!
