The Amaranth Enchantment by Julie Berry is a cutesy little book about a orphan girl named Lucinda. Her story is Cinderella-esqe because she lives at her uncle's jewelery shop with her evil aunt. Her aunt is abusive and Lucinda is treated like a slave. But then all in one day, a handsome prince, a supposed "witch", and a gorgeous stone comes into their shop. That stone ends up being lost to a very important person and soon Lucinda finds her self in a whirl wind of a situation trying to retrieve the gem with a rascal street thief and a very smart goat as companions. All in one night, she goes on a dangerous adventure and makes shocking discoveries. But Lucinda is determined to make everything right in her life for once!
I just thought that this book was cutesy. It was a fun little book about the old English times and society but a little bit of magic mixed with it. I didn't find the book amazing but it was really just a fun and cute read. This is another one of those "I'm bored, hey this book looks amusing" kinda book. Still, it's a fun little read and superrrr easy to read! I felt like this book should've also been targeted to more of the younger crowd. It's something I would've loved to read in like 4th or 5th grade...but that is just me!
I give it a 3 out of 5 stars!
