Sunday is the girl with the power to make things come true, and all she has to do is write down in her book. She is incredibly careful to always write down what is already true, so she doesn’t accidentally change the lives of those around her. She is one of seven daughters, all of which have their own claim to fame within the family and each with their own unique voice. Other than Sunday, Saturday may be my favorite with her strength and desire to be something other than a pretty face. Rumbold (or Grumble) is an unsure but overall quite charming match for Sunday. He’s been through a lot and wants to atone of the mistakes of the past, and when he finds that he is in love with Sunday (who has a good reason to hate him) he begins to try and set things right in earnest. I love the conversations these two have, and I think they are perfectly suited to each other.
The story itself has that authentic fairy tale feel to it, mixing both the sweet and the dark into one extremely entertaining tale. There were portions of this book that surprised me with how creepy it could get, but I loved that the author didn’t just want a story about a girl falling in love with an unlikely hero.
I can’t wait to read Hero, and see just what happens with Saturday!
