What happened to Cinderella after she married the Prince? Set in the late 1700s as Napoleon is rising to power, Cinderella embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to come to terms with her failed marriage and her inability to have a child. Torn between the Queen's insistence that she try all means necessary to conceive and her own desires, she agrees to travel to Paris to consult with a witch to help her become pregnant. Her journey leads her to find her long lost Fairy Godmother and aids her to solve the mystery behind her mother's death. Yet the Fey Lord, the Silver Fox, also takes notice in her and her world is suddenly turned upside down...

This Cinderella continuation is all about a young woman who discovers how to exert her agency in a world that's always denied her all but the simplest of choices. I enjoyed it very much.

That said, Vitale aims for an 18th century voice he can't quite pull off. The book needed at least one more edit to pare away the redundancies and tighten up the prose. The pace is pretty slow, too, and things get seriously trippy near the end.

xicanti NB: this book has received a new cover since I got it as a digital freebie many years ago. I'm not sure if the contents have also changed. 6y
