Grimm Academy
There’s a place where fairy tale legacies weigh heavy on young shoulders—and where rewriting your story is the only way to survive.
Grimm Academy invites readers into a reimagined world where the daughters of myth and legend aren’t content to let fate dictate their futures. These aren’t the docile heroines from bedtime stories. They're students, rebels, and dreamers, each haunted by a prophecy—and determined to break it.
Grimm Academy consists of twenty-one primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Reviews and Comments
I really enjoyed this retelling of Sleeping Beauty and the story for Briar Rose and Walter. This series has been really enjoyable so far with excellent world building and character development. While each story can be read as a standalone reading them together allows you to get to know some of the characters better by getting more backstory for characters whose stories are ahead as well as glimpses into how other characters whose stories have happened are doing later. I look forward to reading more of this series.
