How to Summon a Fairy Godmother by Laura J. Mayo

4.0

funny lighthearted medium-paced

---

 Lady Theodosia Balfour has really gotten the short end of the stick in life - according to her anyway. Most recently, she’s been forced to become engaged to the Duke of Snowbell, a grumpy old man who only wants her to make spare heirs. Desperate to find an escape from the marriage, Theo summons a fairy godmother. Except, it’s not as easy as it is in fairytales. Instead of being granted her wish, Theo must earn it by completing difficult tasks designed to prove that Theo is kindhearted. As Theo ventures into the magical world of fairies, she finds herself becoming friends with magical creatures.

This book was absolutely adorable, so much fun, and filled with adventure all at the same time. I was engaged the entire time, and didn’t want to put it down. I loved the complexity of Theo’s character and the way she grew and developed throughout the book. The world building and setting were fantastic and I enjoyed all of the magical creatures. If you’re looking for a magical fairytale retelling with humor, look no further! I’m so excited to see what happens next in this series! 

I listened to the audio and Josie Charles did a fantastic job with the narration and really brought Theo’s character to life. 

Thank you to Orbit Books, Hachette Audio, and NetGalley for the advance copies!
