A Tale Dark & Grimm by Adam GidwitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this book when it was first published, back in my middle school teaching days, and I really enjoyed it. When I saw the entire trilogy was on sale with Audible, I decided to pick them all up and listen again, this time reading the entire series.
This book was clever, charming, and funny, just as I remembered it. It's also filled with some blood and gore and dangerous situations, but it's all told in a way that would still be readable for late elementary or upper middle school, especially considering the approach and tone. In fact, I think my nephew will love this book. He's at that perfect age for understanding the sarcasm and humor in this book.
I like it a lot, and while I think it would be fun for adults to read with the kids in their lives, it's also just fun for adults.

In a Glass Grimmly by Adam GidwitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the second book as much as the first one. This is a good batch of retellings, with lots of humor and intrigue.

The Grimm Conclusion by Adam GidwitzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't love this one quite as much as the first two books, but it is still good. It references the previous books and events too much, in a way that became distracting and seemed like marketing to me. I didn't love that, but the rest of the story was pretty good.
