I really enjoyed being kept on my toes with the misdirection and manipulations that are all through the story, it is very clever and well executed. All I will say is that the original Cinderella story is a significant tale for everyone in the kingdom, but I loved the subtle changes depending on who they heard it from. I really want to say loads about the plot because it really is great there was so much that I didn’t expect so I was constantly surprised, but I can’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil it. From the start it makes you question the roles of fairytales, how they can be perceived and their lesson can be interpreted differently, which I loved, especially because the story starts with Sophia questioning everything and wanting to find a way out. It’s no secret that I love a retelling but this was almost something a little better, a creative and original addition to the well-known Cinderella story, I can’t believe it took me this long to get to it because it was so captivating.
