7/5/2023 0 Comments Enchanted by alethea kontisHer aunts are fairy godmothers (though, one of them is not quite good), her sisters each have a special talent or gift, and her adopted brother is part fae. *I downloaded this title from Audiobook Sync during their summer program*Sunday Woodcutter lives in a unique family that is involved with a lot of magical nonsense. Light, fun reading, and while I'll try the next book in the series it wasn't hugely memorable. As for the actual story of Sunday and Grumble/Rumbold, I wanted a little more there and though it was fast reading and a decent-sized book at just over 300 pages, I would have liked a little more complexity and world-building rather than a mish-mash of fairy tales. Identifying the different stories that were being referenced was fun, but there's almost so many that it was distracting. Enchanted takes a bunch of fairy tale references and tells a fun story of a family of part-fae who can work magic, each in their own way. Then she meets an enchanted human named Grumble - the only problem is, he's a frog. They live outside a Wood where she goes to write in her journal - very carefully, as she has discovered that anything she writes becomes true. Sunday is the youngest of seven daughters (plus a few boys) of the woodcutter Jack and his wife, Seven.
