THE FAIRY GODMOTHER: Mercedes Lackey: Luna: Fantasy: 417In the Five Hundred Kingdoms, Elena becomes a fairy godmother when her own story (Cinderella) doesn't work out, because the prince is too young to save her from her life of drudgery. In her new role of godmother, Elena helps test three princes on a quest and ends up with more than she anticipated, as they all help change Tradition, the strongest force in the kingdoms.
This is a fun read that plays with a number of fairy tales. The romance gets pretty steamy in a couple of spots, so beware. Also, the author doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word literal, although she uses it frequently. So, for example, Elena ends up with her heart literally in her mouth (ewww). It tripped up the story for me a couple of times, but overall I'd recommend the book as a good, light read.

The airhead unicorns cracked me up. If you ever need a good laugh, read the unicorn passages.
