Itās been a really long time since I read the book (Iāve seen the movie a lot though) and I didnāt realize how different it was from the movie until just now. I donāt mind the differences and really they could be two different stories, which is fine because I love both of them :)
But this is a fun book and I love Ella and Char, theyāre adorable :)
You can definitely see some things in here that wouldnāt fly today (the amount of āfat = badā in this book is a little iffy, and the way that some of the magical creatures are treated isā¦ interesting?) but other than that itās a fun read (my elementary school self was obsessed with this one)
