I loved this sooo much! I was in shock by the end and needed to read more! When you think know something, you just don't. Yes, it does have many similarities to Harry Potter that I noticed - but that doesn't mean that you can't read it.
The reason I didn't rate it five stars was because it was slow at some parts. The beginning instantly hooked me in, but then things kind of dragged out just for me to be hooked again!
I can't wait to get the sequel: The Copper Gauntlet....more

Firstly, in my opinion, some Finally, I finished the Lost Hero. Four stars. It was almostthere, at five, but a few small things that made it go down.
Firstly, in my opinion, some of the Leo chapters were a bit boring. Maybe it's just because I don't have any interest in tools and science and mechanics and all- but I've been wanting to have those chapters a bit more... exciting. Next, I didn't always know where the setting of a chapter was. A forest? A mansion? A garden? So I'm saying that the places could've been described a bit more. In my head the setting kept changing, so I needed to know where it was! Also, it was kind of annyoing to me how in Piper's flashbacks with her dad they said 'dad said' instead of 'Tristan said'. To me.
Otherwise, the Lost Hero was AWESOME. I loved hearing about all the greek mythology. There are so many adventures and thrill-rides, I just wanted to keep turning the pages! Literally. I couldn't put this down. This is one of my new favourite books.
I'll definitely be read the next book: the Son of Neptune. ...more

It was funny at lots of parts and you can relate to Rory, the main character and narrator. I didn't always like Rory and Annabelle's attitude, but they came around. But I found a few parts kind of gross and unnecessary. Like at the ending at Natalie's party. Also, the Willow Falls series is supposed to have magic, and this book and 99% no magic and 1% magic. At least from what I remember. But again, most of the parts were fun and funny. I enjoyed 11 Birthdays more than this... but it had a good message. ...more

It was one of my favourites when I was younger, but now I know some things that could be improved. I didn't really think the ending was entirely a finish. What about Wendy and Linda?

In the fourth book in the Land of Stories series, Alex and Conner are about fifteen years old. The timing takes place about five months after the events in a Grimm Warning, the third book. In this book, we travel from Oz and meet the "heartless" Tin Woodman, to Wonderland, but I don't think we meet anyone there, to Neverland, where we meet Peter and the Lost Boys, to the world of King Arthur, where we meet Merlin and Arthur and Robin Hood, where we meet Robin Hood and the Merry Men. This book contains a cliffhanger, just not as extreme as the third book.
Here are some good things about the book. Firstly, the adventure. I loved hearing about all the places, although the time in Wonderland was shorter. My favourite was probably Oz, or Neverland, or King Arthur... I can't choose, I loved them all! Then, the drama. I was practically dead during Red and Froggy's wedding when You-Know-Who showed up. Not Voldemort, another You-Know-Who. And then what the woman did to Froggy... oh my god! It wasn't nesscessarily drama, but there was a lot of 'dramatic' romance between Arthur and Alex. Especially the way they described Alex walking away from him. It was like a soap opera. Also, the ending. I really wished that there was more, this book being the least amount of pages, but it's still a really exciting ending. I can't wait to see Conner's book characters. One last thing about all the other things I could share that would make this an even longer review was the visualisation. Getting into the books, the way it was described looked so awesome. If I had the capability of using the Portal Potion, I'd have a million books to go into and characters to meet.
And now for a few flaws. It was annoying to read Robin Hood's speech. His speech was always in cap locks, which made it kind of annoying to read. Apparently he shouts when he speaks, but still, I didn't find the cap locks very neescessary. Another thing was the italics. Oh my gosh, there was so much italics in places that it didn't need. It will make it seem like the characters were emphasizing everything they said. "Most ancient civilizations were influenced by creatures that are considered mythical today. The ancient people paid tribute to these beings in their art, stories, and sometimes even worshipped them. Despite the obvious presence of these creatures, historians have labeled their existence as mythology - simply because they don't meet the biological standards of animals today." "Ancient Asia was majorly influenced by dragons, Europe is crawling with legends of fairies and trolls living in its forests, the Vikings claimed to witness merpeople as they sailed across the oceans and that's only naming a few." I know that might not be that bad, but if you read the whole book, you'll realize this is overused.
Other than those couple of things, Beyond the Kingdoms is rated 5 stars. It's one of my favourite books, and obsessions. I highly recommend it. Once I finish the last book next year, I'm going to die. This book, this series, really should be a movie. It's so awesome, awesome, and did I say awesome, and would be a really awesome movie if it's made well. I love the series!!!!!!
