This is a unique and imaginative turn on the Cinderella story. I enjoy that [a:Jessica Day George|359109|Jessica Day George|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1299045947p2/359109.jpg] used one of the princesses from [b:Princess of the Midnight Ball|3697927|Princess of the Midnight Ball (Princess #1)|Jessica Day George|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312024989s/3697927.jpg|3741438] to create a small world where these stories intersect. I'd love to read more about Ionia and the stories of different princes and princesses within it.

Though the characters are, perhaps, less realized in [b:Princess of Glass|7199667|Princess of Glass (Princess #2)|Jessica Day George|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312002471s/7199667.jpg|7867989] the story is sweet and simple and fun. I didn't want more plot, just a little more depth. I didn't feel I knew Christian as well as I knew Galen in [b:Princess of the Midnight Ball|3697927|Princess of the Midnight Ball (Princess #1)|Jessica Day George|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312024989s/3697927.jpg|3741438] and his enchantment didn't help because he lost so much of his own will in it. I would have like more resolution/aftermath at the end, but what it has is satisfying and I really liked the way so many of the characters stories intersected.
