Book 70: The Stepsister Scheme by Jim C. Hines

I wanted to like this book a lot more than I did.

It feels like it should be right up my alley: a story about Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White working together to thwart evil and rescue Cinderella's prince. But for whatever reason the writing never grabbed me, and the characters felt flat. I'm not sure if this is an example of a YA novel that just really isn't for me; it's totally possible that I would have loved it if I had read it when I was thirteen. But unfortunately it didn't leave an impression on me as an adult.

Grade: C
