Ein wundervolles Buch das dazu aufruft alles zu hinterfragen was einem vorgebetet wird. Eine sehr vielseitige Handlung mit Verlust, Angst, Unterdrückung und Verrat aber auch Hoffnung, Vertrauen und die getrieben von dem ewigen Gedanken, dass da mehr sein muss.

ka_ke's review

Ugh, whats with all the man hate. 

As a feminist, I get wanting to tear down the patriarchy, but why is every man (except for the queer ones) in this book a misogynistic abusive ass? We know better than this. 

Also, the mc’s perspective on anything and everything is whiny and unintelligent… gross

4.0

The first 150 pages of this book were very difficult for me to get through, mostly because I was not expecting the darkness of this story. It very much feels like a fantasy version of the Handmaid's Tale Lite. But, once I got past my initial shock, I became very interested in the plot and the characters. In the beginning, I couldn't understand Sophia's actions but by the end, appreciated her unwavering resolve and realized it's necessity to defeat the evil. This is a very unique retelling of Cinderella that in my opinion, more accurately captures the patriarchal society we live in. It is especially timely as I read this after the repeal of Roe vs. 

Wade and the rise in far right conservatism against women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ people.

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

Je laisse sans note car quasiment sure que si je n’ai pas trop aimé c’est à cause de la traduction. J’avais adoré « This poison heart », autre roman de l’autrice, donc je ne vois que ça. Les thématiques étaient très cool et la réécriture du conte de cendrillon et de son impact sur le royaume étaient très sympa à suivre mais j’avais l’impression de lire en surface des phrases plates qui ne rendaient pas justice au propos
