This is a prime example of the cover had me at hello, and completely lived up to my expectations. I absolutely adored everything about this story. Every little in and out, every fairy tale mentioned, every character we meet. It is full of heart, laughter and adventure. I am so glad that I was chosen to be a part of this tour! 
 The Emerald Princess, Dorthea is a spoiled brat, but she is full of heart and spunk, and quirk and sass. I loved her, even when she was driving me crazy with her hoity-toityness. After a wish gone wrong, her whole world changes, and she has to go on the run with a condescending, but truth-speaking prince, Kato and a servant girl who was recently a frog, Rexi, who doesn't like Dot very much and has NO trouble letting it be known. 
 With flying vacuums, weird stick creatures, a woman with a rather large collection of heads and a Bad Witch named Griz after her, and promising everyone something if they catch her, Dot and gang are in for the flight and fight of their lives. From the moment the vacuum explodes and Kato, the chimaera version starts eating everything, throughout all of their ill-fated and hilarious adventures, Spelled kept me, well.... enspelled! 
 I loved this book. It is the perfect book for a day when you just want something FUN, full of heart and laughter and maybe a little bit of love. I don't know if we will have a book 2, but I am hoping against hope that it is in the cards. I know I am not talking a lot of details in my review, but trust me when I say that you want to experience this one for the first time on your own. Anything that I can say, and I want to say a lot, would spoil it! 
 I have absolutely no problem at all recommending this book to EVERYONE. But be warned, if silliness isn't your thing, or if over-the-top makes you snarky, Spelled might not be for you. Otherwise, pick Spelled up at your earliest convenience. I don't think you will regret it!
