C. J. Redwine

The was an average retelling and change to a classic story. It didn't wow me even with the unique elements it possessed. That being said, I didn't hate it.

In the beginning I was just NOT feeling it. Once I got to the climax of the story, it got better. The beginning was too slow for me.

If you like fairy tale retelling this one might peak your interest and I deem it worthy of picking up.

I found this book to be such a refeshing take on cinderella. I really did enjoy that we got various POV in this novel. I also liked how there was subtle connections or tie backs to the previous books in this series. I really did like all the various mysteries is in this novel and how they all did tie together. The villain story was not super clear at the end, I just want more clarity on what happened. I also the end end pacing of the book was a bit off and I struggled with it. But it was a fun engaging read! I really did like Blue and the prince and the princess. I also enjoy the deaf character and this book was a super fun read and a nice way to twist the cinderella story !… (mehr)
