Grimm Analysis by Matt Golec
My score: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
Grimm Analysis is a time journey fantasy journey with a robust fairy story theme.
After an accident at a TV studio Rob finds himself in an odd land paying homage to medieval Germany. Rob appears to simply accept his new dwelling and is ready to use his trendy medical data to deal with the sick, whereas he hasn’t missed the truth that the general public that he meets resemble people from well-known fairy tales.
Additionally on this unusual world is Rob’s cousin Zev; he too ‘fell’ into this world after he went looking for Rob within the wreckage of the TV studios. At some point the duo uncover a can of Pink Bull, which fills them with dread; another person from their world can be close by, and so they worry what this would possibly imply.
The plot will get fairly complicated when their two worlds collide; the writer had loads of enjoyable mixing the fashionable ways in which seeped by to the medieval realm, and a few of them have been amusing certainly. Because the ending grew close to the tempo of the story elevated, culminating in a grand battle which veered away from the parallels with Grimm fairy tales and made me assume extra alongside the traces of Center Earth.
I assumed that this story had loads of good concepts and the fairy-tale theme labored effectively to a degree. I might have appreciated to see extra femininity for the principle feminine characters; they’re at the moment all both outdated crones or reasonably ‘butch’ and aggressive, slipping into now dated stereotypes with just a few ribald jokes about their look and behavior. I winced a number of instances whereas studying descriptions of a few of the ladies. I might recommend slightly characterisation updating in order that this e book would enchantment to present readers.
So, general, there was a lot to love in regards to the storyline, however a bit extra thought was wanted in regards to the target market.
