Unlikely Magic by Lena Mae Hill

3.0

I love fairytale retellings and while this had elements of Cinderella, attics and mice, a sort of fairy godmother and kind of a prince, I wouldn't call this a retelling. This was an interesting book. Definitely different and original. I've been having a hard time liking MC's lately and this was no different. I just didn't understand Stella. Her thought process and how she went about doing things was reckless? Not very well thought out? I don't know but connecting with her didn't happen. I really liked the other characters. They all were very flushed out and the one good thing about Stella is her perception of the people changed over time and with that change new traits of the characters emerged. The world building was really well done. I could "see" everything. I don't do spoilers but if you're looking for something different and most of the time unpredictable this is definitely a book you should check out. I will read the next book because I'm really curious as to what happens next.
