This deserves all the stars in the galaxy! All!!!!! I started reading it and couldn’t stop. Every moment between work, children, and the few hours of sleep (that I was forced to take because my kindle died!!!!) I was devouring this book. It is by far, the most magical book I’ve read this year. That’s saying a lot because I’ve read a couple others that were really wonderful.
I fell immediately in love with Mathilda and Agnes and their friendship. The rest of the story tumbled out so gracefully that it was easy to lose track of time. The world they live in is reminiscent of that the Grimm brothers and so many lovely fairytales built; which took me straight back to my childhood. The North woods especially was my favorite. How can you not adore a forest filled with magic, witches, and fairy rings?! I mean, besides the lost children and whatnot… 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Elva is the best main character because she was easy to love, understand, and relate to. It helps that she has a big beautiful heart like I always imagine a Disney Princess would have. Her love for her family and desire to protect them is beautiful. The relationship she has with Cay and then with… well without spoiling anything, Elva’s friendships are something to aspire to.
What’s best of all is the plot. I didn’t want to even blink for fear of missing any of the amazing story that was unfolding before me. I’ll not give any of it away because I want you to read and love it on your own. As in I recommend the lovely book to everyone. Lovers of fairytales, love, friendship, family, or those who understand the struggle to always do the right thing. This book is for you. So stop perusing the reviews and start reading Broken Wish as soon as you can!. You won’t regret it!!! I promise.
Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, to Disney Hyperion and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book for my honest and unbiased opinion!!!!
