Sew, It's a Quest by Kendra E. Ardnek
3.0
An entertaining read that twists together several familiar fairy tales in a playful manner. Part Ella Enchanted (unwanted fairy gifts) part Phantom Tollbooth (funny books that have literal punchlines), part Once Upon a Time, this story has a myriad of twists and turns.
I had a difficult time connecting to Robin, the more dominant of the twin main characters. She goes beyond stubborn and independent to rude, immature, and rather annoying. I feel like Robert could have been more interesting if he had had more of a dominant role and any sort of arc. Rosamond may have been my favorite character, but I wasn't so crazy about the twist that happened with her at the end.
Overall I would say this book had many clever scenes and clever lines but was a bit wobbly as a cohesive story. Still, lovers of fairytales will find much to enjoy!
