The Golden Age of Magic by Luanne G. Smith

3.0

 This was a cute book with a really interesting premise. Aside from the unique idea of European fairy godmothers traveling to Hollywood, nothing really stood out. I did really enjoy the 1920s Hollywood setting, but there needed to be more explanation of the European fairy godmothers part. 

While the story follows Celeste trying to graduate to a higher level of the fairy godmothers, it seems very low stakes.  The reason she fled from Paris didn't really make sese until too far along in the novel for it to seem that pressing. The plot twist was very necessary because up until that point there wasn't anything especially intriguing going on.

Celeste was a little bland as a protagonist. I liked her enough, but there was nothing about her that particularly stood out. Her romance had some potential, but it didn't develop very much. To my understanding, this is supposed to be a series, so the romance might continue on into the next book and be more important.
