The Cracked Slipper by Stephanie Alexander

4.0

Fun twist on a classic fairy-tale including intrigue, scandal, magic, and unicorns. This story picks up where the happily ever after leaves off. The night before the wedding Eleanor discovers that her Prince isn't so charming after all. After his multiple infidelities, she becomes more disillusioned by her new husband Gregory and closer to his best friend Dorian. Becoming her rescuer and champion against the court gossips only makes her long even more for a love that can never be. But when an important artifact critical to the survival of the kingdom turns up missing, Eleanor is the number one suspect and must prove her innocence to save her own life.
I just love that Prince Charming isn't all he's cracked up to be in this retelling. Eleanor becomes a strong woman able to defend her own self. I'm so excited to read the sequel that sitting in my to read file! Can't wait to find out what happens next.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
