I read "Well-Loved Tales: Cinderella" god damn it. 50 fucking pages in total and the app refuses to import it *rage*. Depressed and swimming in guilt over a lack of motivation, I reached for a short read, with *🖼 🎨 🖌 *.
List of grievances:
- In the edition I read, not this substitute, the father lived with Cinders, he was there, loitering in the background as his child was made a servant, only making a front and center appearance when it came time to parcel the child off;
- she's described as a little girl, but this chic has bust and a receding hairline;
- the prince's dialogue is confined to "this is my partner" and "this is the true bride". I mean fuck, he's even more familiar with her foot than he is with her face fam;
- I read it in the dark because *mood* so the illustrations colour didn't pop, under torchlight the pallate is really quite beautiful;
- I'm obsessed with tracking number of pages read, it seems to be a chief motivator in my current readership, I hate it. Then again, perhaps it is to do with the monotony of the current main focus? Life and Fate is a banger, but much like war and peace, it is not devoid of slow chapters - fuck, I know there was a war, but please don't talk me through it. Take me back to Viktor, I want to read about Viktor.
