Who could have guessed another Fairy Tales of the Magicorum book would be out so soon after the last? Not me! But I'm excited for it nonetheless. I couldn't wait to see what our heroes would get up to this time, and wasted no time starting it, especially after the events of the last book. If you know me, you know I fully enjoy this series. It's perfect for anyone looking for a quick read to break up the other books on your schedule, and doesn't usually disappoint.

Following Elle, Agatha, Alec and Jacoby in this book, we find Elle in her house eating pizza to cope with the loss of her boyfriend, Alec, who's been transported into a magical gemstone prison by an evil fae. She feels like she can't control her magic enough to go and save him, but knows she needs to do something, and in the meantime, she needs to take care of herself too. But after that, she accidentally sends herself back in time to see her mom and her in her childhood home. This sets off a chain of events that also sets the pace for the rest of the book.

Agatha, on the other hand, just wants to go back to her normal life but without her mother and sister, before she found out all the things she didn't know about herself and her ties to the fae world, like the fact that she's the last of a missing species and the only one who can save their world. She doesn't mind the new obsession that Jacoby has developed with her, though, she even has started to like having him around. But she would never tell him that, of course.

The boys however are kind of backup characters for this book. I feel like the spotlight is mostly on the girls, occasionally showing what the boys are thinking to help the story move along. I really enjoyed reading this, and the ending! Wow. That's all I have to say about that, this is a no spoiler review blog after all. But let me tell you, when the action starts, it really all goes down at once. Will he girls be able to save the fae world and the people that they care about? You'll have to read to find out!

This was a very easy and relaxing read for me, and I really enjoy getting thrown back into this series whenever there's a new book out. The writing is funny and quirky, lots of silly little jokes tossed in there to liven it up, but when it comes down to it, there really are some important and serious things that happen in this book and those don't take away from that. I think this was a very nice addition to the series, an I'm hoping for more Bryar Rose appearances in the future, maybe even another book from her point of view. Like always I love the characters because of how silly and realistic they are despite their magic abilities and the obvious differences between our worlds, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

This story felt like I just flew through it. So much happening in the Faerie lands. While I still love Elle and Alec, I really liked Jacoby and Agatha. I'm glad I waited for this book to be out before reading book 5 - I'm not a cliffhanger fan.

The author has added some imagings of the characters and places that was cool to look at.

Fire and Cinder starts with Elle, a girl on track for a "Cinderella" storyline, that is until her boyfriend gets taken by her mother's fairy godmother. Now she's on a quest to save him, but will changing storylines be enough to save him? Agatha is one of the evil stepsisters, only she's just found out that she's the last of her kind of elf.

I'll be honest, this wasn't exactly what I was expecting out of this book.

I didn't like Elle. She was giving off major generic "quirky", I'm so unique vibes. You could pluck her out and stick her in some teen drama Wattpad novel and she wouldn't be out of place.

This book was also a major info-dump - instead of letting the character (and the reader) discover things at a decent pace, all of the info is just given to us. There's no mystery, no having to work for info. Which is odd, because I simultaneously felt like I had no idea what was going on. That is probably because I haven't read the first six books in the series though.

Not the book for me,

Fire and Cinder is book #7 in the Fairy Tales of the Magicorum series. I was worried that because I didn't read the first 6 books in the series I might get confused. The author gave enough of a backstory on the main characters that I did understand what was going on, and she also didn't give away any of the plots of the other books, I feel like this is great for teens who just pick up books based on the photo on the cover. It will definitely intrigue them and make them long for the other books!

Agatha, is a teen who's life is entangled in the fairy tale of Cinderella. She longs to be separated from this and live the life she wants to live. In previous books she was shown something to make her believe this is possible. The adventure comes when Nal'del tries to force Agatha to do her bidding. I think this is a great book about friendship and the binding ties of family. Oh yes, and Love.

I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series. I also intend on recommending this to the students I work with, they will love it!

Also, did I mention, the art is AMAZING!
