Cinderella Is Dead

Product Information

Another thing that immediately threw my off and made me roll my eyes was the insta love that goes on. For worldbuilding and consistency’s sake, I wish the author would have committed one way or the other because the inconsistencies were distracting.

If you decide to purchase a book from one of my links, I may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.I loved this twisty version of story with great, thought provoking criticism of patriarchy and Sophia is well crafted, relatable, powerful character we may truly support and chant for! The author has added lots of side characters, which had promise to add excitement to the tale, sadly they faded away, except for one, the witch in the woods who adds depth to the story. Bayron creates a fully realized world that plays cleverly off of fairy tale conventions and reveals all that truly all that glitters isn’t gold in the stories repeatedly told to little girls. The other point that got on my nerves was the french names of characters and places mixed with others names that are definitely not french.

Sophia is outspoken, daring, and compassionate—a true role model and you immediately want her to find her happily ever after that she wants on her own terms.

Sophia not only prefers women but senses that the palace-approved fairy tale of Cinderella and her fairy godmother, who grants her everything she wants, is a myth and sets out to prove it. Sophia's and Erin's relationship is forbidden under Lille's law, since both of them are supposed to be dutiful wives to whichever man selects them at the royal ball.Encierra a la protagonista en una burbuja pero no deja ver del todo la maldad y crueldad de Lille, y podría haberse solucionado fácilmente con unas cuantas páginas más de worldbuilding. The characters of Sophia and Constance are well described, both girls are brave and principled and, although they both see the dangers they face in carrying out their quest, they are prepared to do whatever it takes to destroy King Manford. In the fictional town of Lille, it is 200 years since Cinderella met Prince Charming and (apparently) lived 'happily ever after'. Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots.
