In this fun spin on the Cinderella story, Cendrillion loses her father and with his death she loses her position within the French aristocracy as an eligible maid. While living a life of servitude, she meets Auguste the prince’s brother and later she also attracts the attention of Prince Louis. While Cendrillion loves Auguste, her only chance to get out from under her wicked stepmother’s control is to play along with Prince Louis’ interest in her. Can she find her happily ever after?
I love a good spinoff of Cinderella and I enjoyed the minor characters and the plot development at the beginning of the story. As much potential as the twist of falling in love with the prince’s brother held, the execution fell flat. Cendrillion needed more character growth and her cluelessness was hard to believe. I was frustrated with the ridiculous ending. The content includes murder from poison, but has clean mature content and language.
