fictionaladventures's review against another edition
3.0
This was cute! I thought about giving it 2.5 stars but the end was pretty good and had an awesome plot twist I could have never seen coming, so that bumped it up for me. It is definitely for fans of The Lunar Chronicles.

Been reading this one for over a week, so I’m glad to be done with it. I thought the premise of the book was really cool, but I just found the main character really stupid about a lot of things. She just seemed very ignorant. Like, I’m sorry but who hears about a resistance and is just like “oh I’m sure that’s not that big of a deal to me, a princess, part of the monarchy they want to destroy”. Also, who calmly and voluntarily eats dinner with pirates who tried to murder you? And for a while at the end of the book, it was just plot twists 24/7. And that writing was just so cheesy. I can deal with a couple of romantic lines and still think they’re sweet, but after awhile it gets really obnoxious. 3.5⭐️

"The SHEW fits,"
IM SO GLAD I PICKED THIS UP, also I LOVE Shania she's hilarious. I felt that some parts of the story were irrelevant/reallyyy confusing though, THE QUEEN'S DEATH FELT SO RUSHED?? Did anyone else feel like it was foul play? Also, I get that it's a Cinderella retelling but literally WHO is Langdon (Aidan's "stepfather")? We know he's part of the resistance but how did he come into possession of Aidan and HOW did he convince Morgan and the other dude to pretend to be a family? Idk something felt off, why would Gail Babineau leave Aidan with him? Princess Delia and Aidan were so dramatic I loved it, I know the planet's in serious trouble blahblah but can you imagine an eighteen year old speaking like this
Bury me, she thought, for the only part of me worth living has died,
Giving Romeo and Juliet vibes.
