This was fun!

If you've been missing the YA retelling days, this is such a good one to pick up. It's got that super nostalgic, retelling feel while also bringing something new to the table by focusing on the "fairy godmothers".

On the critical side, I do feel like the book lost the plot a bit as the story continued, with certain points seemingly added just to keep up the retelling part of the story. The characters and their relationships all felt very one-dimensional, with the evil characters feeling (pardon the pun) cartoonishly wicked.

There is also SUCH bad insta-love in here, holy crap.

 

Even with my critiques, I found this to be an entertaining read and while I might not recommend it to everyone, I do think it's an enjoyable addition to the YA fantasy retelling genre.
