Cute short and fast. Felt more like reading a synopsis of a much bigger story and could have been far more fleshed out to become a longer read.
Very little description of the world just...suddenly MAGIC!
Read for the Trans Rights Read-a-thon and probably won't check out the other titles simply because not my length/detail/pace style.
Finishing it in 2 days is a record for me.
Heads up for some triggering behavior!

Oh my gosh. So cute. I loved the chemistry between Ella and Princess Lizabetta.

could've used some more fleshing out+editing, but still - short but sweet for the most part :)

Cinder Ella was a (surprise!) Cinderella retelling, with Ella being a trans woman & the royalty at the ball being a princess. This novella was overall light-hearted but certainly had difficult parts with Ella’s step-family being transphobic. I love a re-telling that makes the story more diverse than just white & cis-het. This one did not disappoint! Read for a cute, well trained pet dog, found family, insta-love, sapphics, and a touch of magic!

This was a quick trans retelling of Cinderella that hit the most important beats and was a fave of a trans teen I know. I liked the reimagining of the fairy godmother and the way Ella finds both friend love and romantic love.

Removing my rating due to S.T. Lynn not being a Black author

“For the first time she could introduce herself how she wanted. She got to define her own self. And no one was going to stop her.”
A very enjoyable retelling of Cinderella.

I really liked Ella, Lily, Lizabetta and Heather. They were lovely characters, and I was cheering for them.
There are some of the classic elements from Cinderella that had been changed, but it did not bother me.
