So i wanted to do a full on review for this book but since I'm currently having internet connectivity issues I have to do this at work. Therefore how long this is depends on how much i can get done within the next thirty minutes. Or if I happen to run out of things to say, whichever comes first. Although in this case I'll probably run out of things to say first. Maybe. 
 Okay this book I liked it I want another. Alright then so less than thirty minutes. I'll make this quick. I enjoyed reading Spelled, i didn't mind all the fairy tale related puns. (I've read a couple Piers Anthony Xanth books, seriously the puns here don't even come close) Our main trio were funny and I enjoyed watching them grow and become friends. Doretha, Kato and Rexi were all strong indiviual characters, no one faded into the back ground and I could remember everyone. It's a wonderful thing when you remember everyone in the group not just the person who narrates the story. Rexi was interesting. Even though she was a kleptomaniac servant she ended up being a good friend. And i loved her reactions to the dangers, such as staying at the back of the group and keeping far away from the threat. That would be me. (view spoiler)[ that betrayal though, i didn't see it coming after the whole misdirect at the castle. (hide spoiler)] Kato was I dunno I wasn't fully into him at the beginning but then I guess I wasn't suppose to be. He did grow on me in the end. (view spoiler)[ Although I wasn't fully sold on the whole they're in love with each other. Close friend yes love? Eh. He probably was but Dorthea...Not really seeing it. (hide spoiler)] Dorthea our main character, I actually liked her from the beginning her voice made me laugh. Of course if she'd stayed the same throughout the entire novel and didn't have any character growth I would have had some problems but she did grow, she wasn't the same girl from the beginning of the story and I enjoyed reading her journey and hearing her inner monologue. I also totally enjoyed those tips found at the beginning of the chapter. So those were our heroes on to the villains. Yeah so the Grey witch, she didn't feel like a threat to me, I could get behind her motivations but her threat factor was nill. Like she was pretty much just comic relief or something. She was dangerous yeah, but you know I felt like she was one of those 90 cartoon villains who always have grand plans but never actually succeed in killing anyone. Now Blanc on the other hand... (view spoiler)[ dat epilogue though, what was with that, from what I understand this is suppose to be a standalone. So does this mean another book is in the works? I should hope so you can't leave an ending like that! (hide spoiler)] Anyway the other side characters were interesting. Verte and the Mimicman were amusing when they showed up. I liked Verte she's like the ultimate nanny and she knows Dorthea so well. (view spoiler)[ Putting a tracker on her shoes because of Dot's shoe addiction. That was funny (hide spoiler)] 
 Alright going overtime here so a few final words. Also book , I found it difficult to put down, good pacing and an overall engaging plot. I recommend for anyone who likes Wizard of Oz and Fairy tales. You get both in this book. And that's it I'm done.
