I listened the audio version of this book, which likely influenced my reader experience. The female narrator was easy to listen to, created voices for different characters and I felt her representation of both main characters to line up with the overall vibe of the story. The male narrator did not land for me, the raspy voice for the MMC seemed at odds with the female narration and I would find myself cringing. It was almost as if he was a different character, one I did not like. I also found myself surprised by the how pliant the MFC became within Cassius chapters, which didn't line up with her inner dialogue.
The Cinderalla storyline was good, I liked the variations of the traditional story and those parts that rang true to the fairytale. The world came alive with the authors descriptions within Ella's chapters, the suspense kept me reading. The pace was a bit slow, everything wrapped up quickly within two chapters at about the 80% mark. Evil defeated, HEA of course! I liked the story overall, if you like fairytales mixed with a bit of spice and adventure, this is a good read.
