Felicity, a young librarian, is certain her only adventures will come in the form of the books she reads. When her uncle reveals that the palace librarians have the secret gift of interpreting fairy tales, stories that control the fate of the kingdom, she is thrust into a new world of magic. Between rescuing Cinderella, charming a prince, and battling an evil force trying to sabotage the fairy tale, Felicity realizes orchestrating a happily ever after ending is going to take all of her wits.
However, it’s her heart that is put to the real test. She finds herself having to choose between her own happy ending or protecting the fairy tale she’s been tasked with completing. After the clock strikes midnight, Felicity discovers her world will change forever and some fates are stronger than magic.
The story is based around Felicity, a young librarian, who is tasked with an important mission. She must fulfill the task of making a fairy tale (Cinderella’s tale) come true. If she fails, the kingdom will face dark times.
This book was an exciting read because we know our fairy tales, so my fear was that the book would be too predictable. Rest assured, it is NOT. This story takes quite some unexpected turns that made me look at this particular fairy tale in an entirely different way. The plot and twists are cleverly written, entertaining, and unexpected.
The characters are simply amazing. I loved Felicity and Alexander, but also Cinderella, Jack, and Max. None of them are really what I expected and they are so much better. I enjoy the banter, friendship, and loyalty displayed in the pages. I really thought the story would break even more from some standards, but the ending makes sense. I will be honest and say I’d hoped for something else, but it doesn’t make it less of a great ending.
The author truly has a way with words, which made it easy for me to be pulled into this well-developed world and story. The end of the book hints at Book 2, and I’m really excited about the choice. I will definitely read it.
