I've never liked Cinderella. So this book connected with in a special way. I liked the new perspective, and I liked how it wasn't random, it made sense. It's a good quick read and was delightful to read.
This was alright. Bit odd. More telling than showing. There's not really anything evil about Cinderella either - I expected it to be kind of dark but it was more just fighting between two teenagers who had a thing for the drama. The mum/stepmum was a bitch but also not evil - just bitter and grieving from the loss of a husband she loved very much. Prince Charming is an arrogant ass, but one who has fallen in love with Cinderella and she him. Anna is in love with the coachman she speaks to all of once. That bit I found hard to take, there wasn't any lead up to it until she's basically eloping with him. There wasn't really a lot here but what was, was average. 2 stars.
