It tries to be everything at once and fails to do so. On one hand there’s simply too much and a lot of stuff is mentioned as important only to never be mentioned again, while on the other hand there’s actually very little that happens and all the characters seem to say every single thought out loud without any filters. Everything else is explained in every single detail and I found I was able to predict the story from the get go and had to wait over 200 pages before mc did…
I really don’t know why I finished it. I think I hoped that it would become more but it never did.

prendre le conte de Cendrillon, qui est honnêtement l'un des pires en terme de leçon pour une femme "elle doit être belle et son rêve le + grand, son + grand épanouissement est de se marier à un homme" et en faire une version féministe et lesbienne VRAIMENT QUELLE IDÉE INCROYABLE !
Sophia est un personnage principal vraiment chouette, qui évolue si vite dans le bon sens mais sans que ça devienne irréaliste, elle accroît sa haine de Manford et ses hommes mais ne devient pas experte du maniement des armes en 2 semaines par exemple
puis juste slay elle est lesbienne et trop mimi dans sa manière de décrire ses sentiments aaaaaazkdnd
j'ai beaucoup aimé Amina aussi, le grey character du livre et SI BIEN ÉCRITE.
Constance en revanche aurait pu être plus développée, on ne voit d'elle que sa haine des hommes (slay) et sa grande débrouillardise, mais du coup ça n'en fait pas un personnage si intéressant que ça au final.
et Manford est vraiment un méchant en puissance, sa manière immonde de traiter les femmes - et la manière immonde de beaucoup d'hommes du roman à traiter les femmes - n'est pas atténuée ou enjolivée (side eye au dark romance dégueu) : c'est décrit comme ce que c'est, de la misogynie et des VSS.
c'était une lecture empouvoirante dans un sens, et je trouve ça nécessaire de remanier les contes de fées comme ça.
cependant, j'ai trouvé les plots twists et le déroulé général de l'histoire très prévisibles, et c'est assez lent.
je déteste cette phrase mais : "c'est plusse du côté jeunesse du young-adult" (ce qui est une bonne chose!!!! le young-adult ne doit pas être de la littérature adulte déguisée pcq les personnages sont jeunes!!!! mais mes goûts perso font que je me suis un peu ennuyé.e là du coup).
