Author: Alex Flinn
Series: sort of
Chapters:
Pages: 342
Genre: Fairy tales retold
Rating: 4 ½ stars
Bewitching is sort of a sequel to Beastly in a way it is sort of Kendra’s story. It is also a
retelling of Cinderella with a twist. Kendra befriends Emma who is sort of the
Cinderella in the story. While Emma is suppose to be Cinderella she’s not the
most beautiful girl in her school, but she is the only one who befriends Kendra.
Lisette is the evil step-sister and the only thing that fits with the Cinderella
story is that she is the evil step sister.
I liked the retold
fairy tale, even if Cinderella wasn’t really my favorite as a child. I loved
that Alex gave more of Kendra’s story. You find out what happened to her to
make her the way that she is, and why she made the choices she made. After reading
Bewitching it seems to me like it’s
just the first in a series of books about Kendra. Kendra is the witch from Beastly; which is also a movie all and
all I enjoyed the book. However it wasn’t my favorite by Alex Flinn, Beastly is still my favorite by her.
Really enjoyed this novel - it gave me a whole new "take" on Kendra as a character. She really is far more "human" than the movie would have us believe.
