Flipped

Fairytale Evolution #1

by Kate Wrath

The big city is no match for a blue-eyed farm girl with impressive Zung Pow skills and a flair for unconventional magic. At least, that's what Honaia tells herself when she's unexpectedly assigned to a handsome city mage for apprenticeship. The problem is, she never really expected double agents to be involved. Or dragons. Or crazy rips in the Space-Time continuum, for that matter. But when it comes down to it, none of those things expected her either.

Flipped is the first book in the Fairytale Evolution series.

Contains: Language, violence, faeries.

Genres: Fantasy

441 pages, Kindle Edition

Published November 3, 2016

About the author

I received a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Kate Wrath has done it again! Though I feel like singing a song from Aladdin:
"A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew...
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath—it gets better...
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment, red letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you...
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me..."

This may not be the E series , but this book is still an ultimate joy ride where Kate continues to gift her audience with her incredible writing style.

Magic, Orgs, Mages, Fearies, and portals to alternate universities..... Can Honaia make this right?

I literally cannot wait to see how Kate goes with Fairytale Evolution and Honaia's life.

Now I am gong to join Aladdin on his flying carpet as he shows me the world^^.

(Yes that's me, Jasmine.)

I would like to thank the author, Kate Wrath, for giving me the opportunity to read Flipped. This is my honest opinion of the book.

A fantastical world filled with dragons, magic, and assorted creatures, Flipped is the story of a young woman thrust into a world that she scarcely understands. Honaia has been discovered to be possibly gifted in the magical arts and is required by law to go to the city and start training. Asked by her mentor, Mage Onus, to practice magic, the inexperienced Honaia unleashes a power that she did not know she has and creates a rift that she does not know how to fix. Little does Honaia know, but her lack of knowledge might just be what destroys her life for good. Having no one to rely on but herself, will Honaia be able to figure out where she went wrong?

The world that the author has created is interesting, exciting, and has limitless possibilities for future plot lines. Honaia is a perfect main character because her ignorance as to the magical world allows the reader to experience her environment and her abilities right beside her. My favorite character is Kewara, the dragon princess, because I have a feeling that she will become very important in future books. With a good blend of sweet, mischievous, and dangerous creatures, Flipped is not lacking for unique and interesting characters. This was an enjoyable book and I look forward to reading more in the future.

I want to be in Kate's world. I want to be her characters.

I was pretty sure the E series was as good as an author could get. They were bloody brilliant. But this was pretty epic. Beautiful writing is such a drug. Again, I have a bit of a girl crush (sorry - not sorry Pol).

Fearies, mages, dragons, drunk trolls, gnomes, alternate universes.... slightly obsessed.

Also, please join the fight for equal rights for gnomes. Fuckin' gnomes.

Gnomes are people, too! (Sort of.)

Nice editing job, Pol. *high five*

For fairytale 'Flipped'
@KateWrath success is tipped
Butt is where you're nipped?

[Rachael · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is not righteous but rather confusing. The premise is okay: a girl with magic powers accidentally opens a portal and ends up in an alternate universe simultaneously with her other life. But, it was hard to keep track of which parallel she was in as the book progressed. It didn't help that characters and plot were not developed as much as I liked and that fae/fantasy elements just seemed to me to be randomly dropped in without proper exposition. Also, the author unsuccessfully attempted to 'get down with the kids' with an annoying frequency of 'righteous' (meaning cool) and whatever that Zung Pow thing was.

You mean Flopped.

I had previously read Walsh's E series, so expected great things here, but this book is really underdeveloped. It is like Wrath was so anxious about flitting from one reality to another that she forgot to develop a real plot or finesse to
any of the characters. You don't get any back story on what has Onus so preoccupied \why there are no lessons or any real interaction with him \ why his old protege left him \ if people are even the exact same in the different realities . You have no idea who is fighting the war, to which side or faction different characters belong, why they are even fighting or if there is an objective of any kind for the missions. The characters are like a finger painting with no clarity or detail relying on you to insert stereotypical image from a thousand other authors. Why even go there if you are only going to say that there are five dragons with a different color each and job function without creating the mythology behind the relationships and what the importance of each one is along with nuance in personalities or even painting a vivid picture of their habitat. So disappointed.

I love this author's work, whose great writing skills paint imaginative pictures, bring alive fabulous characters and produce intriguing plots. The E series is a favourite of mine, and though this is different in many ways, its best similarity is the strong female lead.

This is a story with a mix of magic and fairytale beings alongside a futuristic science-fiction feel. An unusual and somewhat eccentric tale that is humorous, serious, adventurous and fantastical.

It's not easy to say much because I don't give spoilers but will say that it's a brilliant and amazing story that will compel you to want more.

Highly recommended.
