A bit predictable but it's twisty and turny.

What if the Cinderella story we all know and love became a prison sentence for women?  Men can do whatever they want with the women in town, without fear of repercussions.  Women are measured against the perfect Cinderella, with balls for men to make bids and claims for women.  Anyone different (like anyone gay) have to hide who they are and accept their fate.

Except Sophia refuses to do this.  She runs from the ball and becomes an outcast, and eventually works to overthrow the king.

This book is an adventure, a sapphic slow burn, beautifully written with tough topics addressed.  Sophia is sassy, knows what she wants, and is exactly who this place needs at this time.  She remains a character I love and revisiting the book feels like greeting an old friend for whom you can't stop rooting.
