Enchanted
by Alethea Kontis
Imagine taking all of your favorite fairy tales from childhood, cutting them into small pieces, mixing them together, and then reading the resulting story, piece by piece. That's what happens in Enchanted. The author is part of a writers' group, and she chose to use all of the fairy tale contest suggestions in one story. The result isn't bad - the story is interesting enough - but at times it seems like fairy tale overkill. I think I would have enjoyed the basic plot more if I hadn't been distracted by all the side plots and other fairy tale elements. Still, not a bad book at all.
