I was really excited to read this book, but it just didn't work for me. Most of the characters were thinly drawn and annoying, especially the main character Sophia, who doesn't seem to live in the world she comes from and constantly makes stupid decisions. Sophia’s entire quest is based on how much she loves Erin but she doesn't seem to actually like her very much, the insta-love with Constance who has exactly one character trait bugs me, the plot twist involving the king is so obvious, and I couldn't believe how easily escaped a cell in the castle dungeon apparently is.
The twist with the fairy godmother was interesting, and I liked Luke even though he was only in the story for like ten seconds, but that's about all the good I can say about it.
