An Unnatural Beanstalk by Brittany Fichter
4.0
Oi I thought I reviews this when I finished it! Hopefully I can gather my thoughts together.
I love retellings and I really liked this book. It took me a little bit to get into it but I really liked it. It was a nice twist on the story. I loved Eva. She was so strong and she went through so much. She was great. And Jack was really great too. But best of all is that the duke REALLY gave me the creeps. Like the entire time I was reading I was so grossed out and ugh which was such a good thing because sometimes when you're reading a book as you continue along the story you kind of get used to the "bad guy" and they lose some of their ugh-ness? I can't think of a better word then ugh. This story was really original and magical. The way the elements from the original story (beanstalk, harp, golden goose) are put into this story was really interesting. Brittany Fichter is brilliant when it comes to world building. I never have problems when it comes to her stories and picturing where they are taking place. I have a feeling that I'm going to really enjoy this entire series.
