Way better than "Two Princesses" and the dragon was very charming. Just the way I like my magical creatures to be: funny, loyal, brave, smart. Elodie was a good MC, and my mouth watered all the times I read "skewer". Yummy. For some reason, I was not really into the story as I was hoping. But it is ...

I received this through good reads giveaways.I think I would rate this book a 2.5. It got bumped up to three because the cover art is really pretty.I liked the characters Lodie, the Masteress and his Lordship. I liked that Lodie was able to overcome her prejudices so quickly. I had a hard time with ...

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this story. I did not love it or enjoy it the way I have other Levine titles and have been having some trouble nailing down why.The book has characteristics that usually make a good read. The plot follows a series of problems that should have been interesting, but...

As a huge fan of Ella Enchanted and Fairy's Mistake, I was excited by the prospect of what this book had to offer. I enjoyed it, but not to the point where I would rave madly about it. I enjoyed trying to figure out who was the villain, and I was not disappointed. The thing that frustrated me was tr...

This was truly a wonderful story. The characters were very memorable, especially Elodie. The story was so wonderfully told and the twists were not only surprising but well thought out. It has everything, a magical dragon, a unique ogre, a greedy king, a pretty princess and a peasant in search of som...

Despite it taking me well over a month to read this book, it was overall very good.

Not as riveting as 'Ella Enchanted', but that would be an unfair comparison. All of Levine's books have a certain charm to them that makes them a delight to read. Throw in an 11-year old girl who wants to be an actor, a Sherlock Holmes-esque dragon and a shape-shifting Ogre with a heart of gold, the...

Shape shifting ogre, ala Puss in Boots. A strange land, a twelve-year old girl far from home with her money stolen and the free apprenticeship she'd been seeking abolished. A dragon with a talent for deduction and an ogre with a missing dog. Two castles. Toast and cheese skewers. A princess. A...

I've loved Gail Carson Levine's past outings, especially Ella Enchanted. Man, that was a good book. (hated the movie, if you wanted to know) Sadly, this one didn't quite do it for me. It was okay, but that's it.I liked Elodie just fine (that's EHlodie, not Lodie, thank you very much). She was fun, l...
