3.5

Cinderella and the information she took to her grave played a disappointingly smaller part in the plot than advertised, but giving Prince Charming dark origins was imaginative. The plot twist involving the “fairy godmother” (Amina) was unsatisfying. I can’t put my finger on it, but there was something missing from this book. It fell into that YA trap of feeling obligated to send a message instead of just telling a story.

4.5

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.
