UnEnchanted by Chanda Hahn

Hey guys Ice here with my very first review! This book is free in IBooks so go get it today!

 

Mina, main character of UnEnchanted, finds out the reason that her family keeps moving from state to state. She is told of her family's Grimm curse and the fact that her father died from trying to beat it. The shock hits her hard but instead continue to run away, she decides that she must stand up and beat the curse in order to protect her little brother, who would have to face it if she died. 

 Her courage to take on the curse head on was inspiring but really out of character. Her shy appearance that the beginning of the book seems to disappear and all of a sudden she transforms to this valiant warrior who is ready to take on any task at hand. I must say that I was not expecting the instant change and was thoroughly confused by it.

 

This book had so much potential. I loved the plot and where the story was heading, but the writing was very…..unique. I did not mind the fact that there were some grammar mistakes throughout the book, but what irks me is that the author spelled the main character’s name wrong! It could have been a simple typo but before publishing the book, she should have edited it, because trust me; it needed it! 

I only gave 3 stars to the book because I felt that the characters could have been better portrayed. The characters in this story seem really bipolar and most of the time I am confused on what is happening because of their constant mood swings, especially Mina's. Mina goes from desperately begging for help from a stranger that she suddenly feels she can “trust” to downright angry to the same stranger. When reading the story, sometimes I just feel that the characters need to sit down and take a chillpill!

Overall, the book did peak my interest and I encourage everyone to try it out because of the interesting plot that is told, I know I will be reading the second book just to find out how the tale continues. If you don't mind the occasional grammar error, then you might find yourself cozying up in a chair and reading this story in one read!
