A review by myblackbookish_life
Cinder Ella by S.T. Lynn

emotional hopeful lighthearted sad fast-paced
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Even though I enjoy Cinderella retellings, and I did enjoyed this short read, I won't be rating this book. For once, I forget how dark the source material is and the mental, emotional, and physical abuse Cinderella suffers. So to see that story featuring a Black trans woman (even though I'm stoked for the happy ending Ella has in this book with a new town, new friends, and the Princess)  it took until the 70% mark for us to get to the more 'joyous' part of the story and THEN it was over. 

....we could have at least got an epilogue or sum.

That being said, I do plan to read the other books in this series!
