Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
5.0
Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron is not really a retelling of Cinderella. Yes her story is retold but the story really revolves around Sophia and her fight to be herself. A moral story that just because something is tradition does not make it right.
I really liked this story I like how Bayron changed the Cinderella narrative.but did not make it the focus. the narrative was weaved into the main story and it was done well. Sophia is a lesbian and there is that LGBTQ aspects in the book that very well done. I think when you read this story you get see Sophia grow in subtle way. Originally she is very focused on herself and over the book she expands and starts to think of others. There were twists but for me they were good but now completely unexpected.
I am going to give this a five stars because I think this is one of the best "retellings" I have read in awhile. Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury YA for the ARC. This is an honest review.
