I love Fairy Tale re-tellings and this one did not disappoint. This one is from the POV of the step-mother, who in this version is not so evil. Its also a very well written and obviously well-researched book. Seemingly accurate to the time period (medieval) in its descriptions of things, dialogue and terminology. So much so that I found myself looking up words I didn't know to get the exact definition. Although, if you don't enjoy keeping a dictionary close by, you can still get the gist of things from context clues. On the whole a great story.… (mer)

I love fairy tales, both source material and retellings. This is one of the better, and more unusual, retellings. I appreciated considering Cinderella's story inside a broader historical context.

I give this 3.75. I really enjoyed this. It reminded me a lot of the Disney Other Side of the Story books where you get the villian's side of the story and you see how these princesses were actually brats and such. Though I did really enjoy it, it is not one that I would likely read again which is why I didn't give it 4 stars.
