How to Summon a Fairy Godmother
by Laura J. Mayo
"How to Summon a Fairy Godmother" by Laura J. Mayo and was captivated by the fresh take on the classic Cinderella tale. The story is told through the eyes of Theo, Cinderella's stepsister, offering a unique perspective on what happens after the famous pumpkin carriage scene. Left behind, Theo struggles with a tarnished reputation and an uncertain future. Facing an arranged marriage and unexpected stepchildren, she decides to summon a fairy godmother and embark on a quest for her own happiness.
Theo is a complex character who undergoes a significant transformation throughout the story. Initially sharp-witted and resentful, she evolves into a more empathetic and courageous individual. The romance between Theo and her suitors, Lock and Kas, is delicately portrayed, adding depth to the narrative. However, the core of the story remains Theo's journey towards self-love and personal growth.
Cecily, the fairy godmother, is a standout character with her whimsical and morally ambiguous nature. Her presence adds an intriguing layer to the story, and I would love to read a novella from her perspective.
The audio narration was excellent, and the plot twists kept me engaged. The protagonist, Theo, is a compelling character, and I found myself rooting for her from the beginning. While I enjoyed the book overall, I felt that Theo's transformation from villain to hero could have been more developed.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eager to get my hands on a hard copy. I look forward to news about the sequel, as I believe it will be a magical ride!
