I've been wanting to read this since I was in fifth grade, and I'm so glad I finally got to it 😭 What a fun, enjoyable story! Neither Ella nor Char are explicitly stated as trans, but ohhhhh my god they give off the most transgender energy, and I'm totally here for it.

I used to read this on repeat as a kid. Still loved it as an adult, but deducted a star for the fat-phobia and body shaming.

Reread (from childhood). Reads pretty typical for a young fantasy/fairytale retelling from the 90s.
