My Fair Godmother Janette Rallison 9780802797803 Books

The first hour of this book I was wondering if I was reading the right book. Reviewers were saying it was funny and adventurous. I was thinking this is about a bitchy sister who stills boyfriends. But then we got to the younger sister and there was quite a bit of funny moments. Although not completely funny throughout the book, there did end up with an time traveling adventure. A good clean book that would be good for teenagers. I am not a teenager, but I like to read everything and I enjoyed this book. I had actually purchase this book with the whispersync program and had listened to it. The narrator was a little annoying, but the book was good enough that I blocked out the voice and commenced with the story.

My Fair Godmother Janette Rallison 9780802797803 Books Reviews

This book is just a fun read. Although Savannah at first seems to be the character that you love to hate, she actually ends up as a really sympathetic character who I was rooting for. I wanted her to get her happy, fairy tale ending, but I wouldn't have thought I'd get there from how I felt about her at the start of the story. I guess that just shows how good of a job Rallison did in writing these characters. I love a well-written sassy, sarcastic character, and this book had that in both Savannah and Chrissy. Their misinterpretations of each other and comical misunderstandings kept me giggling to myself throughout the whole book. Chrissy is hysterical from her flamboyant style to her attitude toward her job.

It was so fun to see a twisted fairy tale told in this way. Chrissy really is only Fair as a Godmother because she can't manage to do the job correctly. First Savannah goes back to the Cinderella story, which, in "real life' is not like the fairy tale version. The prince is not so great. This is due to Chrissy not really listening completely - although she says it's because Savannah is not being clear in her wishes. Then, she accidentally gets sent back to be Snow White. Finally, she has to go back herself to "rescue" the boy who could be her prince at home, but is sent back to become a real prince in fairy tale times.

This book is time travel; and wishes with fairy godmothers; and the world of fairy tales; and a girl coming into her own and finding herself and who she really wants to be. Savannah has a journey that is enjoyable to follow along with, and it gets so much better once she starts to take charge of her own destiny.

Review originally posted on Heise Reads & Recommends
Alright, so I must preface this review by noting that there is a LOT of stuff going on in this book. I mention this because I can't possibly get to all of it without suffering some sort of hand palsy. I also mention it because it could have gotten a five star had the author reined herself in just in teensy bit... or had a better editor? Maybe? Moving on...

My Fair Godmother is a fairy tale gone terribly wrong. As a matter of fact, it is the Murphy's Law of fairy tales. If something could happen to our hapless protagonist, Savannah, it absolutely does. Not only is she assigned an absolute dud of a not-so-fair fairy godmother, but said godmother zaps Savannah into Never-Neverland and the worst possible fairy tales, with horrid characters and no way out. And, what's worse, each of her three wishes just seems to compound the problems she's suffering.

Gah! From Snow White to Cinderella. From wicked witches to flesh eating ogres. Dragons, black knights, cheating boyfriends, familial betrayals, oddball crushes and magicians turned into goats... phew! This book has it all. If what you're looking for is a light, feel good read with a solid plot, good pacing, a dash of adventure, a smidgen of first love, pinch of the fantastical and a whole lotta coming of age, look no farther.

If you're looking for something with a lot of depth and a more paranormal/fantasy feel, this isn't for you. While ninety percent of this book does take place in a land of make believe, the real story is Savannah's personal struggles at finding her identity and learning what's truly important. The dragons, magicians, fairies, evil queens, idiot princes and cyclops ogres are merely props and the world is not nearly vibrant enough to get lost in... but I guess that's the point.

I will definitely be reading the next installment which - Squeeeee!! - comes out today!!
