Hello
Reader,
today’s post is an honest review on the novel Pomchanted, if you’re a fan of Morgan Matson or just love YA this is a book you might want to check out.
YA and middle grade New York Times best selling author Morgan Matson delivers an incredible retelling of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty in her new novel Prom-chanted.
If you’re a fan of retellings fairytales, hate to love romances and fantasy this is the book for you. The book is about Stella a teenager who lives in California. When her boyfriend breaks up with her a few weeks before her junior prom she stops believing in happily ever after’s.
On the night of her junior prom Stella her two friends Alyson, Nisha, and Reece, a boy she can’t stand head to Disneyland. After trying to help Reece find his lost phone her and him get transported into Sleeping Beauty’s story and meet mains characters in the plot as they become part of the story the must keep everything on track by follow the original plot line, and still must find their way back home.
The beginning of the book is really slow and had me wondering when it would pick up. There’s a lot of buildup. But by chapter five it starts to pick up though. There are some slow parts throughout the book, but ultimately it runs at a good pace. Matson does quite an excellent job with sticking to the original Disney Sleeping Beauty storyline all the while adding her own story and characters into the mix. Overall Promchanted is funny and engaging. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from Morgan.
Morgan does an excellent job developing her characters, and I won’t go into too much, but her main character Stella is a planner and has a problem with things not going as planned.
Well that’s all for now hope you enjoyed this post!
