This book is so unique I didn’t realize it was a Cinderella retelling the whole time. The world created is interesting and vibrant, the characters are 3 dimensional and likeable. I would argue they are in general a little too likeable so far, especially the main character lacks any real flaws. I think the plot and setting of this book are the jewels of the story, I would have liked a little more understanding of the systems of governance, religions, ect, but it makes sense that we experience a bit more of a day to day at different class levels. The internal dialogue got a bit tedious for me.
