The Other Slipper by Kenechi Udogu
5.0
Long story short, this is an alternate story to Cinderella. What if the other glass slipper went missing? What if a not-so-ordinary girl found it? This event changed both lives forever. This book is about Jo, a girl who works at the palace where they’re making a ball where the prince may choose his bride. Sometimes she even dreams about having a life in the court. After the events that take place in the book, she may reconsider her wishes. ..
She has to travel to the kingdom of Ould to return the slippers to their rightful owner, the Lady of Ould. Jo makes this journey with Ron, her dreamer of a brother, and Locke, who at first is a stranger but you get to know and love him (and his cheeky grins) very much. :D In this journey, she learns a lot about herself, about her family and her companions. Somehow, she discovers her true self and her brother’s, and that’s really something! :)
I love a lot of things about this book. Every character has slight changes that you can recognize if you look closer. Also, the hints the author gives the reader about the events that take place are quite perfect to look for. I also enjoyed the fact that the protagonist wasn’t the only character that grew in the story. You get to know and actually get the actions and the points of view of the other characters and that’s one of the things I love in a book. We don’t get only to know Jo, we get to know both Locke and Ron.
Like I said earlier, it was really good and I can’t wait for the sequel… <3
