I'll believe it when it arrives..anyway, I love that this is a revision of a classic fairytale. I absolutely love getting a different perspective from what we usually see. Themes of family and a subtle romance also are appealing! I'm excited about this one.

I'm always up for a fairy tale retelling, but I find myself particularly fond of the retellings that put a new spin on a previously background character or villain. Ask me how much I love Maleficent! Ask me! ;) Great review, Jenny!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695758147242555382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-53649833163431427632014-06-17T21:15:35.692-04:002014-06-17T21:15:35.692-04:00While I love the original Cinderella story and don...While I love the original Cinderella story and don't really enjoy re-tellings, I love the fact that this focuses on the family dynamic rather than the romance of Cinderella. I think that is such a unique take on a re-telling, and it definitely has me intrigued as to how everything will play out in the eyes of a step-sister and not Cinderella. Glad you enjoyed this, Jenny!

I loved how she pretty much got to give her step-mom and sisters the middle finger. So I'd love to read this twist on it.
