As I’m currently doing a re-read of ‘The Sister’s Grimm’, I’m reminded of how well Puck and Sabrina’s slow burn was. And how romantic and heartfelt their story is.

There was absolutely no romantic tension between them in book 1, just pure spite between preteens. However, the natural progression of a crush begins in book 2. Book 3 has the titular moment, of course, and things only progress from there.

However, something I don’t believe is discussed enough, is Puck as a character. Not only did Michael Buckley handle the age gap with the most decorum I’ve seen in a faerie/human romance, but he also wrote an incredible tale between Puck and Sabrina.

Point A) Puck stopped aging at 12 years old when his father tried to force the marriage with Moth upon him. This also stopped his brain development. So, when he and Sabrina met, he was still physically and mentally a 12 year old, who wasn’t even seeking out love. Nothing gross or predatory about any of that at ALL.

Point B) Puck and Sabrina have not only an adorable slow burn, but the boy QUITE LITERALLY GAVE UP IMMORTALITY FOR HER !!! Everafters are more than allowed to age, only if they choose too. Puck didn’t age for FOUR THOUSAND YEARS. He had no need to. That was, until, he met Sabrina. Unconsciously, he began aging, because he fell in love with her and didn’t want her to grow up without him. Of course, he’s a 12 year old boy who doesn’t want to admit he’s fallen in love, but the heart always knows.

And what’s even better? He doesn’t stop it. He gives in. He gives in because after 4,000 years, he’s finally found his girl.

I know Puck and Sabrina’s romance isn’t the main lesson or storyline of this series at ALL, but it’s one that I think about constantly. For a book series written for middle schoolers, it has such complex themes and storylines that I am constantly amazed at.

Red: Is Puck always like this when he loses?  Sabrina: Oh, yes. You should've been there for the Great Jenga Tantrum of 2015.  Puck: You bumped that table and you know it!

😭Reasons I loved this Scene:

1) Puck compulsively transforming into 10 different forms in 2 seconds as a way of catharsis was an excellent way of showing that his powers are second nature to him. It is like the fairy equivalent of punching a wall.

2) Sabrina's first instinct to protect Daphne before she goes after Puck.

3) The way that Sabrina is framed behind his beating wings like he can see her but through his own wounded pride.

4) That speechless look between them. Sabrina is desperate and doesn't know what to say to Puck to make him stay or feel better about her choice. She's had to manage everything since Relda's capture (and had to raise Daphne even before then), which is why she stoics up and goes back inside. Puck is mad, but after seeing Sabrina, his expression turns sad, and he just leaves (not in a huff though, just leaves).

I think the real elephant in the room is that they made Puck British. Such….an odd choice.
