I stay up late to flow through these pages and read the story of these 4 sisters, Goldie, Liyana, Bea and Scarlett. I must say Cambridge is also beautifully coming through the pages, with old streets and grand buildings, I admired it as well as the story and the characters.
I loved this novel. There are so many books with whiny, helpless female figures and this is a fresh kick in the world of fantasy fiction!
Some scenes were so cinematographic, like when Bea went airborne in library, or Liyana was up in St Mary's church watching Cambridge under the rain...
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loved Laini Taylor, Angela Carter, Erin Morgenstern & Neil Gaiman. Van Praag is an author to watch!

The Sisters Grimm was a special book. It was even more special to read as a woman about the magical story of these 4 sisters. It has a really good idea behind it. The magic of each sister is related to the Earth's elements: water, fire, earth and air. They don't remember each other, growing up separately, but they will come together one day, in a different, magical world to discover their powers.

This book was beautifully written, slowly revealing itself to the reader. It reminded me of The Night Circus for sure. Not that its ideas are similar, but the styles and how stories reveal themselves are similar. So, I think the fans of The Night Circus should try this out.

I read it in a couple of days, feeling myself in another world rooting for these sisters. It's hard to pull off so many perspectives, yet I think it's done beautifully.

The story and the atmosphere is intriguing, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this fantasy world. Highly recommended.
