Absolutely loved this Cinderella retelling! The writing was engaging and the plot moved at a great pace IMO. I love the world Kalynn Baron created for this story and the battle cry to stand up and use your voice and power to change systems of oppression. Really good YA storytelling from a black author with queer representation!

Es repetitivo, siento que deja de lado las sutilezas tratando de dejar claro un mensaje, un mensaje que admiro y comparto pero lo hace de una manera en que resulta cansino, la autora se esfuerza tanto en transmitir ese mensaje que se queda encerrada en el intento. No va más allá, no desarrolla el mundo y el desarrollo de la trama comparte el mismo destino.

El concepto de la historia y el mensaje que se busca transmitir son excelentes, plantean un potencial increíble, que lamentablemente se quedan en posibilidad, no en hecho.

Desde hace meses moría por leerlo pero no pudo ser, no descarto del todo la posibilidad de retomarlo en algún momento.
