Well, I never anticipated feeling sad for Lady Tremaine, aka Cinderella's evil stepmother, or Anastasia and Drizella, aka the evil stepsisters, but here we are...
Based on this villain origin story, she DEFINITELY got shafted and HARD. It was difficult to finish the book because I knew kind of how it would end, but the getting there was really rough. Lady T was an abused wife trapped in her own personal hell who was just trying to save herself and her daughters. It's enough to drive anyone mad, and she didn't deserve it. I wonder what would have happened if the Odd Sisters had been able to 'help' her......

For the love of god please stop with the odd sisters and the extended fairy land lore.
Everything else was fine, though a bit rushed.
