A review by jdalton
Broken Wish by Julie C. Dao

5.0

Original fairy tale books such as this are a fresh take on the myriad of retellings (though I do love retellings). Julie does a great job at setting up the world that Elva lives in. The rules of the magic are believable and I couldn't help but think of Rumplestiltskin saying "all magic comes with a price" when it as explained.

The book is a great beginning to the next books to come as well as it's a good standalone story. While some parts may have ben predictable, I was still crying at the climax and hurting along with them.

Give this book a read if you're looking for a new fairy tale world to be sucked into that feels both familiar and awe inspiring at the same time.
