I enjoyed the first third, felt it dragged in the middle but picked up again in the end. I loved the idea of a fairytale as propaganda. It's in first person which probably explains why I felt I had a strong sense of Sophia but not so much of the characters. I liked the way she and Constance worked together but didn't really feel much chemistry between them, so the romance fell kinda flat for me. The twist on the fairy godmother was great.
