Cloaked

Alex Flinn2011
I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission. There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades. Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.

My one minor quibble with Cloaked is with the pacing. Once Johnny is given the magical means to travel, he ends up blipping from place to place, sometimes multiple places in the span of a few hours. There is very little in the way of segue from scene to scene. If I had been listening to Cloaked as an audiobook, I would have spent a lot of time rewinding to see how one scene lead into the next. http://pussreboots.com/blog/2021/comm...

While it was an entertaining read and I really liked the how the fantasy aspect was set up, it was way too predictable through the entire book and there were too many times I found myself yelling at the MC for being oblivious.

Loved the adventure in the story and finding out what was going to happen next after each chapter! Very engaging!

This book was really good. If you liked Beastly, you will definitely enjoy this one. Cloaked had more obscure fairy tale story lines in it making it more of its own story. I really enjoyed it and I finished it in two or three sittings.

I have to say that this book was actually really fun. As my first introduction to Alex Finn, I would definitely pick up another book of hers. The book was a clever and fun blend of fairy tales from all sorts of countries. Some of the plots were easily solvable, and sometimes the European dialect was a little daunting, but over all a fun and quick read.
