Helpful Score: 7


A really good read - thankfully a lot less, erm, flowery than Lackey's other offerings, "The Fairy Godmother" is a fantastic take on the Cinderella tale, with a plot good enough to steal that'll keep you stuck to the page for hours on end. I love the universe and would love to read more if she continues to write more sequels. As for bad points, there are some jarring little observations the characters make about themselves, and the plot, though interesting to follow, is fairly predictable. Apart from that, this book gave me several hours of enjoyment, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
