Enchanted by Alethea Kontis
3.0
Well it certainly was different.
Enchanted is about a girl named Sunday, who one day meets a frog in the woods who can well talk. So of course she talks to the frog, and shortly falls in love with the frog. She kisses him and turns him back into a man, but she didn't know he turned back into a man. A man no other than her family's rival. Not knowing who he is Rumble (the frog) prince of Arilland tries to win the heart of Sunday once again. And this time he faces a few more challenges than hoped.
OK so i know not the best summary but i' typing on lost sleep before i lose whats still fresh in my mind. This book was well..confusing. At times i had no idea what was going on or how exactly it tied into the story. And the author used WAY to many fairy tales. I get what she was trying to do, but it just wasn't working. Every time you turned the page there was a new fairy-tale incorporated, it just became to much. I also feel there was to many characters, seemed as if every chapter brought a new face, i had a hard time keeping up with how was how. I don't just feels like the book needed just a tad more planning.
So i didn't like the book at all, but i did, i gave it 3 stars. I did like some stuff, i thought the incorporation of fairy-tales was cool, just a little less would have been nice. I also thought the main story line was good, lots going on but good, I understood what the author was getting at.
All in all it wasn't bad, it just need to be thought over a little more. Now the real question is, am I up to try and read the second book?? Time will tell.
