AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Queen Cinderella is appealing to Fairy Godmother to help her stepsisters, Drizella and Anastasia, but Fairy Godmother wants nothing to do with those cruel girls. When Fairy Godmother’s sister, Nanny, convinces her to listen to the story of Lady Tremaine and her daughters, the question of who was cruel and who deserves help is harder to answer.
While I like the idea of getting another perspective on what happened with Cinderella and showing readers that we don’t always know the full story, this book was very confusing. I was expecting more similarities to the Disney movie, but Valentino takes lots of creative liberties that I feel change the entire Cinderella story. I didn’t like the emphasis of fairies and witches controlling so much of the Many Kingdoms, but it certainly is a unique spin on things if that’s what you’re looking for.
