Reception
Critical reception to Disenchanted has been positive, with many reviewers praising its diverse and inclusive cast of characters, and careful balance of humor and heavier issues. Kirkus Reviews gave the book a starred review and stated that, "[The] tales are as deftly interwoven as the vying houses’ fine garments, even as they reveal to young readers such dark, contemporary issues as enforced child labor, difficulties faced by working-class families, and the harm that is caused by grim factory conditions." School Library Journal praised it as, "a fresh approach to traditional fairy tales," and said readers would, "appreciate how the author blends themes of magic and modern-day economic justice."
