The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey
4.0
This is, in short, a guilty pleasure book. I know Lackey can write intricate, enthralling tales. This one is good in worldbuilding, but the characters are predictable as a consequence of the fairy tale frame, and there is little or no actual conflict.
The main character is sometimes in suspense or in doubt, but there is never a situation where I felt she might actually fail. Doubts are overcome with a minimum of fuss and obstacles are eliminated within a chapter at most.
All in all, it's a mature fantasy for the distracted reader who wants pleasant daydreams and a light, uncomplicated plot.
