When Ella finds her prince and heads off to the palace to be
Queen, her ugly stepsisters are left behind with the feet they deformed and a
hostile village of people who knew how poorly they treated Ella. Then Chance makes a bet with Fate that
Isabelle has the will power to change her fate – she just needs a push in the
right direction. Fate, as the crone, is
sure that nothing Isabelle does will change her future – especially since the
entire village, if not the kingdom, is in the crosshairs of a blood-thirsty
megalomaniac.
Donnelly writes a fine re-twisted fairy tale of a girl
changing her “preordained” destiny by being courageous enough to realize she
needed to change herself. There are some
other little touches that added to my delight.
