A Well-Timed Enchantment by Vivian Vande Velde

2.0

This is a book I randomly picked up because it looked interesting. It is very short and because of this the story seemed to be very abrupt. Different parts of the story seemed to be randomly thrown in and it didn't make much sense. I thought the overall concept of the story was good but the execution was poor. The author spent a lot of time on describing insignificant details but then would throw others quickly into the plot that made no sense. I certainly could have done without the random romance part because it did not fit and seemed like more of an afterthought. While the beginning of the book really caught my interest, the ending was a big disappointment for me. Maybe if the main character had not been such a whinny child things would have made more sense and I would have liked it better. Overall, I did not dislike it, I just did not enjoy it the way I thought I would.
