Ogre Enchanted
by Gail Carson Levine
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
If you loved Ella Enchanted as a kid, then you don't need me to tell you how excited I was for this prequel! While Ogre Enchanted can stand on its own, I definitely loved reading it having already read Ella Enchanted. Ogre Enchanted brings you back to curses and fairy godmothers. We're reminded about how fickle and self-absorbed some fairies can be. In Ogre Enchanted Evie is a healer who is the victim of a fairy who loves proposals and weddings. Turning down her best friends ends up in Evie being cursed as an ogre who now needs to receive a proposal to be turned back into a human. Except now as an ogre Evie people only see Evie as an ogre and don't bother trying to get to know Evie. They are full of prejudices and Evie has to fight against people's expectations to be seen as herself.
