solid cinderella retelling, however, the prequel was much better. i didn’t expect a retelling when i started this book and i probably wouldn’t have read it as i read another ya lesbian cinderella retelling a couple months ago. this one was much much better than that one though! once again beautiful prose, yet emotions feel lacking sometimes. not much plot and yet not much characterization either. the best word i can describe this book as is wispy, floating along with the wind and seeing where it takes you.
