calcicuivre 's review for:
Enchanted
by Alethea Kontis
I really liked this book because it had an interesting plot and relatable characters. I liked the concept of the seventh daughter of the seventh daughter and the seven daughters being named after the seven days of the week. Here is the rhyme:
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on Sabbath Day,
Is blithe and bonny and good and gay.
Sabbath Day = Sunday
Gay = happy (in this case, if you cant tell from the contex)
But Sunday's family is not as perfect as it seems. The big brother she never met is known as dead, her sister Tuesday danced herself to death, she falls in love with the prince her family despises, Monday is married to a prince and never looked back at her family, and her sister Wednesday is getting married to a king who wants her only for her power. This story was very entertaining and blended in many classical fairytales into the story. The characters were very likable and each sister had her own personality!
It was so well written that I read it in one sitting!
