The Magestaff by Cordelia Castel

2.0

I was underwhelmed by this fairytale mashup of Cinderella, Jack & the beanstalk and Bluebeard. It wasn't bad so much as a little flat. And while I didnt hate the characters nor did I particularly care about them either. They left me completely unmoved. I think i never really connected because it is much a case of tell rather than show and despite their adventures with trolls, pirates and assorted magical events it was kinda boring. Possibly it was my age and this may appeal to a younger audience. DNF at around 50% (with a brief skip ahead to the ending).
