All the purple for my first purple book
🙌🏻

This was such a magical read. Even though it is over 40 years old, it has aged really well and I'm grateful that the publishers allowed me to have a copy of the latest reprint for review 🙌🏻

The hype is justified. Everybody should read this book. I ugly cried.

As a white girl in England, I am too inadvertently privileged and incredibly far removed from the Black Lives Matter (although I would like to think I am reasonably aware of the cause - I hate calling it that because it is a right - via social media). I am 100 pages in and have already angry cried. Especially after the recent injustice with Phillando Castille and Charleena Lyles today.

I am in the UK, but I am with you.

Really unpopular opinion but I didn't like this book. Honestly, the only reason I finished reading it was because of the sheer amount of time that I have dedicated to the series so far... and then Maas goes and adds a novella on a character I can't stand meaning the finale is pushed back. Ta, mate.

All over the cover art and Susan Dennard's writing but the sequel was a bit of a let down for me 🙊 definitely reading further in the series though. She is the nicest author as well which works in her favour!

I finished this in one setting and can safely say that it is my favourite Cinderella retelling (to date). You won't regret picking this book up... in fact, you might have issues putting it back down again!
