The Glass Gate: A Retelling of Cinderella by Hanna Sandvig
3.0
3.5✨
This is a really lovely, whimsical Cinderella retelling perfect for young readers. It transported me straight into my childhood/adolescent years, where I devoured happily ever afters fairytales filled with magic, romance, and adventure.
This book combines modernity and fantasy quite well. I haven't read the first book in this interconnected series, so I was a bit taken aback when we transitioned from a magical faerie realm into the Instagram-riddled reality of our modern times. Yet as it went on, I thought the author seamlessly wove the two worlds together, heightening the magic of the tale and Ella's journey into it.
I enjoyed following Ella into the realm of faeries, dragons, and magic; it brought a lot of nostalgia of my young adolescent adventures in reading.
