The Glass Gate: A Retelling of Cinderella by Hanna Sandvig

adventurous hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

This is such a delightful story! Ella goes to a party in Tír na nÓg (Faerie) with a friend and her life is never the same again. Swept into a world of balls and beautiful gowns, a pet dragon and Prince Charming, Ella has to guard her heart carefully. Will she ever be able to go home when her time runs out?

I absolutely adore this Faerie world with all the different creatures and magic and whimsy. It has all the things I love best about fairy tales:

1) coziness!!

2) magic and cute magical creatures 

3) sweet romance without all the spice

4) a world that draws you in and makes you want to live there!
