So This Is Love (Twisted Tales, #9)

by Elizabeth Lim

What if Cinderella never tried on the glass slipper?

Unable to prove that she’s the missing princess, and unable to bear life under Lady Tremaine any longer, Cinderella attempts a fresh start, looking for work at the palace as a seamstress. But when the Grand Duke appoints her to serve under the king’s visiting sister, Cinderella becomes witness to a grand conspiracy to take the king—and the prince—out of power, as well as a longstanding prejudice against fairies, including Cinderella’s own Fairy Godmother. Faced with questions of love and loyalty to the kingdom, Cinderella must find a way to stop the villains of past and present . . . before it’s too late.

This was an interesting twist to Cinderella that I thought worked out well. It offered another perspective to the story where I was able to enter Cinderella’s thoughts and the way that she viewed the people around her as well as the prince. When I watch the movies based around this character, I usually feel like I don’t get to know her well. In this book, I liked how I was able to gain a sense of how she is based on her interactions with the other characters in the palace. There wasn’t a much overly exciting plot compared to other books but it was still a quick, light and entertaining read.
