Review
There are few joys as immersive as listening to an author bring their own fantastical world to life – and with “The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns,” Chris Colfer does just that in spectacular fashion. This time around, I want to spotlight the narration itself before diving into the spellbinding story.
Chris Colfer’s performance behind the microphone is nothing short of magical. His youthful energy infuses every character – from courageous Alex and quick-witted Conner to the menacingly charismatic Enchantress – with distinct personalities and emotions. There’s a special authenticity in hearing characters voiced by their creator; Colfer knows exactly how each laugh should sound, how every moment of fear or wonder must land, and he delivers it all with heartfelt sincerity. For both young listeners and adults reliving their childhood love for fairy tales, his narration elevates the entire adventure into something deeply personal and memorable.
But narration is only part of what makes this audiobook such a standout. The story itself is rich with imagination – a whirlwind adventure that sweeps Alex and Conner back into a land where familiar fairy tale figures dwell side by side with new dangers. The threat this time is greater than ever: The Enchantress has returned, threatening not just their magical home but also our world beyond. As the twins race against time to save their mother from peril, listeners are treated to high-stakes quests, clever plot twists, and beautifully reimagined folklore.
Colfer’s writing shines brightest in his ability to balance whimsy with emotional depth. Themes of family bonds, bravery in adversity, sacrifice, and self-discovery are woven seamlessly throughout. Even amid outlandish spells or hilarious misadventures (keep your ears open for some delightfully comedic exchanges!), there are moments that tug at your heartstrings – reminding us why fairy tales endure across generations.
If there’s one caveat for newcomers: while “The Enchantress Returns” stands tall on its own merits, those unfamiliar with Book One may find themselves catching up on backstory at times. However, for returning fans or patient first-timers willing to dive headlong into fantasy realms, it’s well worth it for the sheer scope of Colfer’s world-building.
Ultimately, “The Enchantress Returns” isn’t just a continuation – it’s an expansion – of everything that made The Land of Stories series beloved by so many: vibrant characters you root for (or love to hate), thrilling escapades through enchanted lands, and above all else, stories within stories that celebrate courage and hope.
