Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and it is now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is Authors I’d Love To Meet. I’ve had the opportunity to meet a number of great authors, but here are some that I have yet to meet! Here’s my list:
Title: Misfits (Royal Academy Rebels #1)
Author: Jen Calonita
Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy
Publisher: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Source: Publisher via NetGalley
Release Date: October 2, 2018
Rating: ★★★★★
A brand new series from Jen Calonita, set in the world of Fairy Tale Reform School! Not everyone born royal is meant to rule…
In the magical fairytale kingdom of Enchantasia, becoming a legendary Prince or Princess doesn’t happen overnight. Enter Royal Academy, the training ground for the fairytale leaders of tomorrow!
But reluctant-future-princess and new-student Devin has some reservations about RA, especially when it comes to the Headmistress. Olivina seems obsessed with preparing students for possible villain attacks. But when Devin asks when they’re going to learn how to actually rule a kingdom, Olivina becomes enraged. Something isn’t right with this lady, and what Devin discovers could change the fairytale world forever…
I loved this story!
The characters in the story are new princes and princesses. Some are related to familiar princesses, such as Raina who is Snow White’s sister. Snow White, Cinderella, and Rapunzel graduated from the school years ago, but they still make appearances in the story.
Devin was a rebel, which didn’t go with Olivina’s vision for the school. Olivina is the fairy godmother who runs the school. However, everything is not what it seems at the school. People who you think should be good are actually connected with villains.
Though I haven’t read the Fairy Tale Reform School series, which comes before this book, I really enjoyed this story! I’m going to look for that series to see what happened to the original princesses.
Have you read Misfits? What did you think of it?
This blog meme is hosted by Book Date. It is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever growing TBR pile!
This weekend I finished Misfits (Royal Academy Rebels #1) by Jen Calonita.
I’m currently reading Son of a Critch: A Childish Newfoundland Memoir by Mark Critch.
Next I will be reading Swallow’s Dance by Wendy Orr.
What are you guys reading this week? Have you read any of these books?
