Review Detail

Amaranth Enchantment reminded me of Cinderella. The fact that her parents died and left her with her evil aunt who sends her to clean the jewelry shop everyday. Rings a bell, anyone?

Besides the Disney-related theme, Amaranth Enchantment had the very typical fairytale plot. The evil aunt, a goat pet, a thief, a fairy of some sorts and, last but not least, a prince.

What I liked about Amaranth Enchantment was the goat called Dog. Seriously. Hes called Dog. Im not exactly sure why but I think it was because the goat looked like a dog? Probably the weirdest name ever but Dog was the cutest and funniest thing ever. I loved how he always managed to find Lucinda even when she was in jail or running as fast as she could, he would always, always manage to catch up with her. I remember reading about him and laughing but its just so amusing to picture a goat running after you and finding you in the most unlikely places.

Lucinda, on the other hand, wasnt a real in-depth character. Shes always pretty clueless. I mean, she even let this dirty, raggedy boy into her room and only protested vocally. She didnt actually physically do anything to get rid of him. And she ended up trusting him? Kind of dumb, really.

And the ending. It was the typical happily-ever-after ending that all Disney stories had. Overall, Amaranth Enchantment had no real meat in the plot and it basically followed the typical Disney plotlines instead creating its own.
