The pumpkin carriage (aka the Pumpkin food truck). The charming prince that holds a ball to find his beloved (but in this case, it’s a cosplay contest + ball). It’s a modern retelling of Cinderella that makes it its own.The world that Ashley Poston creates perfect conveys fandom and what it’s like to be a fan. Geekerella is everything I hoped it would be, and it was so frickin’ delightful. Pop culture references to things like Lord of the Ring and Captain America?. A fandom that really feels like its own?. It’s a perfect love letter to fandom and geek culture.Ī fandom that’s reminiscent of my favorites (like Battlestar Galatica and Firefly)?.What do you get when you cross fandom + cosplay + Cinderella retelling? Geek heaven! Better known as Geekerella!ĮVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GEEKERELLA This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.įirst sentence: “The stepmonster is at it again.” I received this book for free from Quirk Books for review consideration. Part romance, part love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom. But when she disappears at midnight, will he ever be able to find her again? As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake-until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. Playing Carmindor is all he’s ever wanted, but Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets.

Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons-before he was famous. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck (and her dad’s old costume), Elle’s determined to win…unless her stepsisters get there first. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball, and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic sci-fi series she grew up watching with her late father.
