Despite the issues that I had with the book, I did genuinely enjoy the story, especially the quest for the items and I found it a real page-turner. The ending was well thought out and although perhaps a little 'Deus Ex Machina' in style, worked well and opened up the possibility of sequels. Colfer is something of a rough diamond; he is full of wonderfully creative ideas and a naturally talented storyteller but needs to polish his writing style in order to convey his ideas to best effect. I look forward to what he comes up with next.
Fairy Tale fans will love [[Magical Princess Stories by Margaret Mayo, Geraldine McCaughrean, Rose Impey, Andrew Matthews, Jane Ray, Ian Beck, Angela Barrett, Emma Chichester Clark and Alan Snow]] whereas those who prefer their stories a little more Grimm, may enjoy the dark [[Charlotte Markham and the House of Darkling by Michael Boccacino]].
