Alex is my favorite character. She's so strong, kind, intelligent, brave, and hardworking. If you haven't read A Tale of Magic... (ATOM), this won't make sense. Did anyone think about this? Brystal (her grandmother) is the sister of the first Charming King of the Charming Kingdom, so Alex and Conner are distantly related to the royal families through the Charming Brothers.
She is a fun and independent character! Her personality is everything I want: smart, witty, kind, and family-oriented. She loves her family with all her heart and would sacrifice everything for them.
She is overall the best character because of this.
Conner is a funny, witty, determined, adventurous boy. He is a great writer, and if it wasn't for Conner, the books (especially the third one) wouldn't have been the same. Heck, they wouldn't have happened!
Conner is so funny, smart, kind, witty, and sarcastic, and he has a great imagination. If you haven't read A Tale of Magic... (ATOM), this won't make sense. Did anyone think about this? Brystal (his grandmother) is the sister of the first Charming King of the Charming Kingdom, so Alex and Conner are distantly related to the royal families through the Charming Brothers.
She may be a little... vain, but still, she is my favorite character! I loved when she killed Morina and what she said at the end after she killed her.
Red is also really pretty. Even though she only killed Morina due to a misunderstanding, she is the best!
Little Red Riding Hood is my favorite character, along with Goldilocks, Alex, and Froggy. I was so sad that she had her heart broken by Jack and Goldilocks' relationship. I was glad she found Froggy as her husband, as Froggy is generous and wise. I hope she and Froggy live happily ever after!
If he had never found them in the woods, 90% of this series wouldn't have happened.
Cinderella is a great mother. After she and the royals were rescued by Jack and Goldie, she admits, "Alex was right." She knows what's best for everyone.
I realized that Cinderella is related to the twins through her husband because he is descended from the first Charming King of the Charming Kingdom, who is the Fairy Godmother's (Brystal's) brother.
Goldilocks is such a great sword fighter, and she was one of the most wanted fugitives in The Land of Stories. I like her relationship with Jack and strongly support their ship. I hope Goldilocks lives happily with Jack and her son.
I love her! She's so, so strong and not like any woman I know in the book or the world.
She is loyal to her own friend and a scary swordswoman who likes to kill Red but didn't, so she's kind.
I love Goldilocks. She's so independent and fierce, yet kind and selfless. I think she should be higher on this list.
He and Goldie are just the best outlaw-swordspeople couple - brave, selfless, and caring.
He doesn't get as much attention as Froggy or Goldilocks, but he's a great character.
Jack is brave and really good at fighting.
I realized that Sleeping Beauty is related to the twins through her husband because he is descended from the first Charming King of the Charming Kingdom, who is the Fairy Godmother's (Brystal's) brother.
Sleeping Beauty gets pretty much no recognition, but she's probably one of, if not the bravest, queens.
LOVE her! I am her personality. She and Red are the best.
She's really mysterious, and I liked her Cemetery of the Dead stories. It was particularly interesting and funny when Bree says to Conner, "Do you have a crush on me?"
Bree Campbell is cool and calm. She is smart and tech-savvy. No wonder Conner likes her!
I love Bree! I think her relationship with Conner is just so adorable!
Like I said about Sleeping Beauty, no recognition. I like that she released her stepmother so she could free her lover, and she doesn't get much attention from readers.
I realized that Snow White is related to the twins through her husband because he is descended from the first Charming King of the Charming Kingdom, who is the Fairy Godmother's (Brystal's) brother.
The Newcomers
Porridge is such an important part of Goldilocks's life. He was literally her maid of honor - that's not a connection you see every day.
Mother Goose is one of the funniest and most original characters in the book. She has a lively, spunky personality, and I really enjoyed reading her story.
I love Mother Goose's humor and sarcasm, especially towards the Fairy Council.
It's so funny. How is she only rated 11? She's the Fairy Godmother's best friend!
If it wasn't for her (giving Alex and Conner the book), Alex and Conner would have never entered the Land of Stories.
The Fairy Godmother is sweet, kind, and caring for others. She is a role model for Alex and Conner and is awesome.
Nobody would be alive if she hadn't defeated the dragon before she died.
She protected and cared for the twins even after John's death.
She pretended to be her own daughter in The Enchantress Returns.
She definitely deserves to be higher on this list. She has a full-time job, supports her family after John Bailey's death, and kept track of fictional characters from her son's stories.
The twins' mom is an awesome mom. She stayed strong for the twins even after her husband's death.
If Morina hadn't cursed Ezmia, Ezmia would have never kidnapped Evly, and Evly would have never become the Evil Queen.
Also, she cursed Alex. She never gave up on her plan.
Morina is essentially the series' main antagonist because if she hadn't cursed the Enchantress, Ezmia wouldn't have kidnapped Evly (the Evil Queen) and ruined her life. Then she tries cursing Alex, which causes her expulsion from the Fairy Council and allows the Masked Man to take over.
Morina is probably my favorite Land of Stories villain. She's so smart and so evil. I feel bad for the countless innocent people she killed to make her beauty potions.
Ezmia was treated unfairly by the fairies and got the short end of the stick, being cursed and bullied. She didn't deserve what happened to her, and she deserves more recognition in a good way.
She is strong, and I love her. I love her name, and she's strong and smart (except for the part when Alex took her pride in the end).
She was strong, awesome, and misunderstood. I love her!
Xanthous plays an important role in the 2nd and 3rd books.
In the second book, he and Sir Lampton "protected" the twins before M.G. And in the 3rd book, he was the one who informed the twins that they were winning.
I do not like him, but I just love his power.
Emeralda may have made some massive mistakes (the Masked Man, Alex, etc.), but she recognized those mistakes and owns up to them. She is also selfless, and I think there's more behind her stoic expression.
Although she made some mistakes, she realized that she was wrong and made up for it.
I think Emeralda gets a lot of flak because she ungodmothered Alex, but she apologizes and helps set things right in the end.
She just wanted to have her man back!
He died to protect Alex. If it weren't for him, Alex would have died.
He made up for his mistakes.
