I was delighted to find this prequel to one of my favorite childhood reads at a used bookstore, never knowing it existed! The disastrously well-intended fairy Lucinda is back and in this case, transforming the young healer Evie into an ogre for rejecting her friend Wormy‘s proposal. It was wonderful to be back in the world of Kyrria—even if the characters aren‘t so endearing or richly drawn and the ending feels forced and unnatural.

It wasn‘t what I expected. I loved Fairest and Ella Enchanted and was so excited for this, but it felt like I was reading a strange plot synopsis than a story. There‘s was no love and care put into the descriptions and the characters seemed like flimsy paper dolls to me rather than fleshed our people that I‘ve grown to know over 30+ chapters. I did manage to read this in one day, just to see if there was a plot twist but alas no. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

As my introduction to fantasy as a kid, Ella Enchanted has been a favorite for most of my life. Reading this follow-up was so much fun! I loved seeing the world (and some characters) again. So many good nostalgic feels! 💜💙🧡

This was a read aloud my nine year old and I read together. It gets a puck because she loved it and it had some great vocabulary for her to experience. But it was really difficult to actually read out loud - for various grammatical and punctuation reasons - an it‘s not really my cup of tea. I‘ll be glad to move into to something new but I‘m also grateful she still loves reading with me and hope that continues even if I have to read about ogres!

My January 2019 reads. I think it's safe to say my reading slump of 2018 is over. Huzzah! I enjoyed all these books!

Kristy_K How did you like Planetfall? I bought it on a whim but haven‘t read it yet. 5y
silentrequiem @Kristy_K I really loved it! The ending was a bit weird and rushed though. The slow reveal was masterfully done. I'm a bit upset that the series are stand-alone novels and not sequel because I want to know more! 5y

Ella Enchanted 😍📖✨| Fairest ❤️🎶🍎 | The Two Princesses of Bamarre 👸🏼👸🏻🥾 ☁️| Ogre Enchanted 🧟‍♀️🧪🤴🏻🏰 | I will love Gail Carson Levine til my dying day because she gave the world so many wonderful stories. However, I was a little disappointed with Ogre, the story felt forced and rushed. It was fun to see some familiar faces though, and learn their stories!

Cute but also annoying in several ways. This is more a prequel to Ella Enchanted than a companion novel as Ella‘s mother is a character in this.

Since I'm stuck on the couch with a rather miserable kidney stone, I'm indulging myself with a fun read from my Christmas book haul. 😁

First book of 2019!

Not as good as Ella Enchanted but still quite enjoyable. It's a prequel to Ella Enchanted, and I loved seeing the back story there. A quick and fun read. #catsoflitsy
