Review
My Fair Godmother was a really cute read. It had a slow beginning at first, but then it really picked up when Tristan was sent back into time. I enjoyed the adventure and love that was in the air. Also the mystery of the Dark Knight was a great add. [SPOILER] I just wished he’d turned out to be good though. [SPOILER ENDS]
One of my favorite parts about the book was the characters. Tristan was super sweet. He was there for Savannah right from the beginning and wouldn’t stop till he got her. Savannah was like a blonde, but totally pulled through when the time was needed. I liked how she tried so hard to prove to herself and everyone that she was more than just a pretty face. Chrissy was just a smarty pants. She was totally self-centered and didn’t really show much care about Savannah’s problems. No wonder she was just a “Fair” Godmother. Even though Hunter and Jane were back-stabbers, they really cared about Savannah. I liked them too.
I had a few problems with the book though. First off, I think that when Savannah first meets Clover and Chrissy, it goes by too smoothly. There was like no background information as to if Savannah was a fairy tale type of girl, I thought she’s be terrified when she met Clover and Chrissy but she just kinda took to it. Another thing that bothered me was as the book went from present time to the Middle Ages, it was kinda scratchy. I think it could have gone by better.
Lastly, this didn’t come to my attention till the end of the book. The cover is very cute and totally eye-catching. I mean who wouldn’t read the back cover after looking at this front, right? But Chrissy doesn’t do much in the book. She’s like the one who pretty much causes the book’s main conflict, which I guess could earn her the cover page, but I think it should have been at the least Savannah on the cover instead caught. This is her story and all.
My Fair Godmother was truly a fairy tale.
