* "If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and Gidwitz deploys his successful formula of bloody happenings and narratorial intrusion in his third and final installment of unexpurgated fairy tales. ... Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for." --Publishers Weekly starred review
"Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined."--Kirkus Reviews
"The conclusion to the trilogy that began with "A Tale Dark and Grimm" (2010) and continued with "In a Glass Grimmly" (2012, both Dutton) is equally gorey and awesomely dark. ... As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. ... Readers will rejoice."-- School Library Journal
