The story has a lot of parts to get into her, so I’ll just leave it at the fact that it is entertaining for the most part, with constant puns about fairytale things, like UPS being United Pegasus Services, there being a munchkin band called The Wrong Direction, and chapters being preceded by ‘excerpts’ from the memoirs/interviews of various fairytale characters, as well as a Fairytale Survival Guide. Along the way, she is being chased by the Gray Witch, comes across a Black Crow witch who loves hot pink, fights off some demon puppies, constantly is kidnapped, and drugged, and finally has to decide if she will let the power inside her dictate her life. To undo it, she has to go with her unwanted fiance (who has been spelled into a chimaera), and a kitchen girl to get over a rainbow and break the spell.
To avoid an arranged marriage, Dorthea makes a wish that breaks the rules of story and magic, and puts her world in chaos. Spelled is like Percy Jackson meets Once Upon a Time, with the base story being that of Dorthea, a princess in the Emerald kindgom and a lot of elements of the Wizard of Oz, but having many other fairytales thrown in.
Trying to fix her prince problem by wishing on a (cursed) star royally backfires, leaving the kingdom in chaos and her parents stuck in some place called “Kansas.” Now it’s up to Dorthea and her pixed off prince to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz and undo the curse… before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story. But a forced marriage to the brooding prince Kato is so not what Dorthea had in mind for her enchanted future. Sure being the crown princess of Emerald has its perks-like Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels.
Fairy Tale Survival Rule #32: If you find yourself at the mercy of a wicked witch, sing a romantic ballad and wait for your Prince Charming to save the day.
