Click Here to purchase a copy from Amazon. Book : Ella Enchanted  Author: Gail Carson Levine Publisher: Harper Collins  Pages: 239 Genre: Fantasy and Fiction  My Rating: 3.75/5 stars  Recommend: Definitely yes! When Ella was born, she was bestowed with a gift of obedience and the unwary fairy Lucinda didn't realize that she lay a curse on her. Now Ella will always be obedient to others and listens to every order directed to her; finish the cake, hop on one foot, kill the prince, betray her kingdom. She is waiting to be free from the curse so, she can be herself and has the power to say no.  "My gift is obedience. Ella will always be obedient. Now stop crying, child." I stopped. Review: As a child, I loved reading fairy tales, but with time it occurred to me that fairy tales usually dispirit women and expect them to behave like a typical princess and someday a prince will save her from misery. Ella Enchanted is a re-telling of Cinder
