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
