The Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine
4.0
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
The Blood Spell is a Cinderella retelling about a girl named Blue, who works at her father’s apothecary shop. In her world, magic is considered to be illegal after an event happened involving an evil witch, which is a problem because Blue has magic. When poor children begin to disappear in her town, Blue investigates what’s happening with the Prince, Kellan, who she grew up with and has hated for her entire life.
I was surprised by how different this story was from Cinderella for the first ⅔ of the book. I loved Blue and how her character was both kind and strong-spirited. The relationship between Blue and Kellan is also well-done. I loved how both characters had obstacles to overcome which made the relationship more genuine.
Redwine renews the tale of Cinderella with this story, and adds twists and complexities which ultimately made this story unique and different from the fairytale we all know. Overall, I recommend this title for those looking for a well-done fairytale.
