UnEnchanted
3 Stars
Wilhelmina "Mina" Grimm is not your typical teenager. She is a descendent of the Brothers Grimm and the latest in a long line of family members who must survive a curse that forces them to relive the tales collected by their ancestors.
An intriguing premise very similar to the TV series Grimm but the writing is simplistic and would have benefited from a professional editor.
That said, the story itself is engaging and Mina is a sweet albeit clumsy heroine dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a social outcast at school as well as the dangers associated with the family curse, i.e. an abundance of fairy tale characters coming to life and threatening her family and friends.
Overall, not too bad even if the ending is open ended and disappointing.
