4/5⭐ This book is truly MAGICAL. Gorgeous writing I wanted to dive into. I adored the creative steampunk aspects. it's everything I want in a fairytale retelling. The story isn't terribly complex (some plot thread wrap-ups seemed thin), but the developing agency of the main character is done very well. I appreciated the exploration of friendship, love, & being true to your own dreams. #projectnew #TIABchallenge
#BookMail Pt4 Sorry about the dark photos, it‘s a gloomy day here in Sydney. It actually looked brighter than this.Anyway, this book was recommended but I cannot for the life of me remember where! I think it was booktube but I‘m not sure🤔This is a steampunk Cinderella retelling which is what captured me about it. Still, I‘d love to know where I heard about so if any Litten watches a lot of booktube & knows who recommended it, let me know please?
I originally chose to read this book because I had loved Meyer's "Cinder" and I figured a Cinderella retelling with a mechanic would be a nice way to revisit that. The writing style of Cornwell did not meet my taste, but I suppose middle schoolers or late elementary (the intended audience) would enjoy it. It seemed dry and predictable. I enjoyed the twist at the end and the message of independence and making one's own way which was a fresh take.
So I was having a DAY at work, and the 'new kid' comes to my desk and says, I got this for you, and I think you need it today. And everything seemed brighter. Thanks AE. And it hit me that it isn't just the Tardis that's bigger on the inside. ❤️📚👓 #catsoflitsy
