Welcome to Litsy!

An interesting retelling of Cinderella. It wasn‘t bad. I found myself skimming in parts though.
Much of this is set up for a series which is fine it does progress the story, but at times it just gets in the way.
2.7 ⭐️ If you like a fairytale retelling and a strong female character then take a look at this one.
This is a soft pick.

Posted this stack 3 months ago LOL last book to read is the tagged. Kind of proud of myself I don‘t usually do any kind of list or plan anymore with my reading.

This Cinderella story is dark at times and has an unexpected ending. It‘s full of adventure, love and magic. There are many other fairytale characters woven into it. I had fun picking them out. #100YEARS100BOOKS #61 #BookSpinBingo #5 #YApril #9 #ThankfulAthon

I LOVED this book. It is a clever deconstruction of the concept of fairy tales. What if the stories were darker than they seem? What if magic was not truly as magic as it appears, if the beautiful dresses and shoes were made by slaves kept prisoners in a tower surrounded by a high wall covered with brambles? The newest seamstress knows she must escape the tower. But can she escape her own story?

Ah finally getting to sit and read while Hubbie naps with the newborn! Love fairytales and twists, interested to see how this one turns out!

Day 5: Slipper

I love this reworking of Cinderella. The entire concept is genius and executed so well.

I so wanted to like this book because of is interesting concepts and plot structure. However, I had so much trouble with aspects of the writing, the ironically one dimensional characters, and the pacing of this book, that I had to force myself to finish it if only to move on to something else.

The story in the book is incredible - a retelling of Cinderella that's not so much a retelling as a complete twist on fairy-tale worlds. What if Story became a force of its own and drove people into a happily-ever-after?

The story-telling, not such a hit with me. It took at least half the book for me to connect with it.

Still a pick because of how innovative it is.

I'm DNFing this at about 25%. I can't get into it. It's a really interesting and unique concept but I can't get into and I'm feeling no motivation to read it.

I love fairy tale retellings and I grabbed this one when it went on sale because my friend @brandymuses highly recommends it.
