Today I finished reading "Enchanted" by Alethea Kontis and it was okay. I liked the book, but I didn't love it. Continue reading to find out why I didn't love the book.

The Plot:

It isn't easy being Sunday's child, not when you're the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday's only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true. When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night, Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland and a man Sunday's family despises. The Prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction to this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past, and hers?

My Thoughts:

Like I said before, this book was okay. The plot made the book seem really interesting and I love the cover. I started reading the book and I liked it. The beginning was good and interesting. As I continued reading, somehow the story became boring. I was confused about what was happening at times, and I couldn't get into the rest of the story. I continued reading and finished the book. The book got better after halfway through. I liked the parts with Sunday and Rumbold the best. I got bored with the other scenes and didn't care for some of the characters. I liked all of the sisters and Sunday's family. I thought Rumbold was a nice guy. I know this is a fairy tale retelling, but the love was rushed. Rumbold and Sunday knew each other for three days, and they are already in love with each other. But, I thought they were cute together. I liked how the author put in other fairy tales. I think the author did a good job with the story and she's a great writer, I personally didn't love the book, but that doesn't mean you won't. I might read the second book in the series. I don't know, this book was disappointing to me. Do I recommend this book? Yes! Everyone should read this book.
Also if you love retellings of "The Frog Prince", I recommend "The Frog Princess" by E.D Baker. I love that book. So, if your into fairy tales, go pick up this book. This book gets 3 stars!
