Book Review: How to Confront Hate and Discrimination with A Tale of Magic
I have never read any of Chris Colfer’s Land of Stories series though it has been recommended to me, so I didn’t really know what to expect when I opened this one to try to prepare for an event at the store. A Tale of Magic… is I think a prequel series to The Land of Stories. I began an ARC of the story in October and didn’t finish it until the very end of December, but I kept reading it past the event, and I finished it, which I can’t say of every book that I begin for an event. There seemed near the middle to be enough parallels between the story that I thought Colfer might be telling and the story that I am struggling to tell that I decided that I had to finish this one, even if the event was long over. (I managed just about 150 pages before the event.)
The book didn’t end up going quite the direction that I thought that it might.
In the Southern Kingdom we are introduced to Brystal Evergreen. Brystal is living beneath laws that are deeply misogynistic. Women are allowed only to pursue motherhood. They are banned from reading or even entering the library. But Brystal has brothers. She has studied law alongside them and reads novels that her younger brother sneaks to her. She manages briefly to hide a part-time job as the library’s nighttime maid, reading through the library’s offerings after close.
One book reveals to her the corruption of the government, the manipulation of laws for the purpose of consolidating the power of the government, and another reveals the existence of good magic, fairy magic instead of witchcraft.
I would actually have liked to have spent more time with Brystal’s family, the dynamics of which I found very interesting, while she slowly picks apart the prejudices that have built her world, but that wasn’t the story that Colfer wanted to tell.
Reading a passage from that second book reveals Brystal to be a fairy, and her magic lands her in a Correctional Center that is really a workhouse, from which she is rescued by a mysterious and obviously magical Madame Weatherberry, author of the book that landed her in such trouble.
The magical community is even more oppressed than women are in the Southern Kingdom. Magical peoples have been pushed to the dangerous In-Between, which is outside of the control of any of the four kingdoms and where resources are scarce for such a large population.
Madame Weatherberry begins a school for magic with the intention of training fairies to do good works for the non-magical inhabitants of the kingdoms and by so doing erase the prejudice and suppression that causes non-magical people now to hunt the magical.
That was the original thought of my own WIP’s protagonist, though recent years have made me more cynical. I wanted to see if Colfer was able to convince me that there was some good to be achieved through such a plan.
Then I thought that Colfer’s characters might begin to see as I have that “Stonewall was a riot!” and that only through revolution is revolutionary change achieved.
Neither was really the direction that the book went.
Instead Brystal * learns to leverage society’s fear of magic by leaving alive a greater threat that only she and her classmates are powerful enough to fight. She and her classmates attack no one but neither do they perform good works across the kingdom. *
The writing was at times not subtle enough for me, perhaps a little didactic. I was not wholly on board with how easily Brystal accepts the leadership role into which she is thrust nor how adult she acts or how quickly the protagonists pass through their challenges. The magic system was vague, but it worked, because I never felt that the magic was anything other than a stand-in for other inborn traits that lead to discrimination in our world.
Knowing some of Colfer’s biography, I felt it likely that magic was here a stand-in for an LGBTQIA+ identity, though there was no instance in this book of any romance—which itself is a welcome change. This book touches too on the dangers of a culture of toxic masculinity with the character of Xanthous, the only masculine-presenting fairy that we meet.
I marked several poignant ideas from the novel, thoughts mostly on how to change the world and why the world is hateful and how to react to the hate in the world.
My ARC is 61 pages shorter than Goodreads advertises that the book is in the final print; I don’t know what was added or what other changes may have been made between the ARC that I read and the final print copy, though I know that mine lacked much of the artwork, most places where illustrations will appear merely held with the phrase “ATK.”

This allows the lure to swim and move just like a real frog, attracting the attention of nearby fish and drawing them in for a strike. In addition to its realistic appearance and movement, the Confrontation Frog is made with high-quality materials that ensure its durability and longevity.

1. Jane - 2 stars: I was really excited to try the Big Bite Baits Confrontation Frog in the Tilapia Magic color, but I was definitely disappointed. The color of the frog didn't match the actual tilapia color and looked completely off in the water. Additionally, the frog didn't have a realistic swimming action and didn't attract any bites. I wouldn't recommend this particular color from Big Bite Baits.
2. Mark - 1 star: The Big Bite Baits Confrontation Frog in Tilapia Magic was a huge letdown for me. The color of the frog was way too bright and didn't resemble a tilapia at all. It looked unnatural in the water and didn't fool any of the fish I was targeting. The construction of the frog was also poor, with the legs easily tearing off after a few uses. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this product.
3. Sarah - 2 stars: I purchased the Big Bite Baits Confrontation Frog in Tilapia Magic based on the positive reviews I had seen online. However, I found that the color of the frog was not as advertised and didn't closely resemble a tilapia. Additionally, the frog didn't have a realistic swimming action, making it less effective in attracting fish. I was disappointed with this specific color choice and would recommend trying other options from Big Bite Baits instead.
4. Mike - 1 star: The Big Bite Baits Confrontation Frog in Tilapia Magic was a complete waste of money for me. The color of the frog was too vibrant and didn't look anything like a real tilapia. It was easily detectable by the fish, and I wasn't able to get any bites with it. The durability of the frog was also poor, as it tore apart after just a few casts. I wouldn't recommend this particular color option due to its lack of realism and quality.
