A cute, short prequel to Ella Enchanted. Definitely not as good as Ella, but it was fun to get background information on some beloved (or hated) characters. One thing I didn't like was Lucinda's role in the plot. It seemed like a cheap way to get out of actually coming up with a conflict. The writing also seemed simplistic and childish.
Some things I did like were getting to know ogre culture and history better, and the humorous changes to personality Evie experienced as an ogre.
Recommended to anyone who is a fan of Ella Enchanted, but with a warning to not set their hopes to high.
