Ogre Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

2.0

Oh lord... there's a lot to say about this book and not all of it is good. I LOVED Ella Enchanted. I can remember the first time I read it and I regularly re-read it because it brings me so much joy. Having said that, I was THRILLED to find out we were revisiting Frell and before Ella Enchanted takes place! Unfortunately, The main character, Evie, left me missing the wit and fun that Ella brought. There were times when Evie was genuinely funny and I loved it but mostly she was bland and I felt the story was a bit meandering and predictable. I also NEVER want to hear the word "Tingle" again!
I would say this book would be good for someone, ages 8-12, who has devoured Ella Enchanted for the first time and is looking for more magic in Frell.
