The Cinderella-like retelling made it a touch cliché but after a while I forgot that it started like that because the story had a different twist than the Cinderella stories do. 
There was a point sometime in the middle where it got slow and I just felt like it needed to hurry up but then the entire last chapter I was wishing went forever. 
All in all, I ended up loving it. I’m a sucker for clichés. 
I’ve found a new favourite character in Posy. I want her to have her own book.
