Book Review – Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story

Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story by Carolyn Turgeon

My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This book was a retelling of Cinderella from the Fairy Godmother's point of view. It takes some liberties with the original Cinderella story. In this book's version, the Fairy Godmother was young and beautiful like Cinderella. She majorly screwed up when trying to help Cinderella get to the ball and was banished to live as a human on earth as punishment.

The beginning and middle of this book was so slow I had trouble maintaining interest. The last twenty pages were exciting – I would have expanded this section and fleshed it out more. I spent most of the book waiting for something to happen and when it finally did, it was over in a flash.
