I found this book because of a friend. She recommended it to me and she says that this is a fun book to read. When I got to Goodreads and read some reviews, I was quite disappointed because they say that this book isn’t that great because of the editing. But hey, I read a book because of its story, not how they write it, and since I’m a person with full of curiosity I tried it. And it has a twist; it is a fairy tale in a modern world.

A story about an average girl who once a wallflower that turned into one of the famous students in her school, but here’s the catch:

She is the descendant of the Brothers Grimm as told by her mother and… She is cursed.

Chanda’s Unenchanted is a witty and enjoyable book, although sometimes I don’t get some of the characters because they are quite confusing, still I have fun reading it. I actually like the plot of this story, those funny scenes… oh wait, the ending! That freaking ending, I didn’t expect it though. After reading the last chapter I’m not quite sure if she has written the ending right or there is some missing chapters. Gladly, this isn’t a standalone book so there’s still chance for that freaking conclusion! How could you end a book like that? That is pain, not ending.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this book. I don’t know, in point of fact the idea of this book is likeable but there is something that she needs to fix: The Characters.

Despite of some not so good reviews of other people, I still advise you to read it, maybe there’s a possibility that you might like it. By the way, I’m going to finish the other two books tomorrow so better wait for my other reviews and check it out. *wink*
