It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl’s display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all–and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they ever knew.

I had really low expectations for this book, to be fully honest I expected to not like this book but after reading it I came to love this book. 

This book is a retailing of the cinderella fairy tale which everyone gets to hear many times during childhood. This book takes the cinderella fairy tale and puts it in a very dark places but in a very enjoyable way. 

This book shows us that believing in something too much can be a bad thing and that it can makes us super blind. But also this book shows us that a hero role isn’t only for men but also for women. 

The descriptions in this book are amazing, and they put a very clear picture in your mind. 

There is corruption, money and power using which really seems like real life situation due to the politicians now on days.

The world in this book is amazing, it has the fairy tale feeling to it but at the same time it feels like it is a real life place.

The characters in this book are amazing, they feel like real human beings. Because they are super relatable, and we can relate to their feelings because we all been in situations where it seems that what we want to do is impossible. 

The characters might have some lame and cheezy moments here and there, which really made it awkward at times. 

The writing style in this book is amazing, its very easy at the same time it was like the author knew what words to use to fully crab your attention and make you read for hours.

The ending has a huge twist to it, which really wasn’t expected. Which really make this book so much better. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5
