Six Degrees of Separation: Vanity Fair to Ella Enchanted

Six Degrees of Separation is a monthly blog event hosted by Kate at booksaremyfavoriteandbest. It’s inspired by the 6 Degrees of Separation, a movie game where you attempt to connect actors in six movies or less. But we do it with books!

As far as creating and end for this story, The One was perfectly adequate. But all of the problems and poor writing that plagued this series were still there.
