Before I begin, let me say that this will have some spoilers, so only read on if you want spoilers. But once you read this review, you will see that it is a waste of your time. The only reason why I finished it was because it was short and I wanted to see if it got better. It didn't; it got worse.This was the sappiest, stupidest, most boring book I've read in a long time.So we all know the story of Cinderella, and we know that she just put up with the abuse of her step-mother and step-sisters, but this one just about tops it all. With the prologue, I felt sympathetic and angry that she had to deal with all of that, yet once she starts interacting with her step-mother and step-sisters, the entire time I kept thinking "You coward! Stand up for yourself!" Then, when she manages to score a pretty dress, she takes it and shows them, knowing full well that they despise her and don't want her going to the ball. What an idiot!Then there is the whole blood mage thing, which was pretty weird and seemed like it was hastily thrown in there. By cutting herself and shedding blood (she was trying to commit suicide, but didn't succeed) she calls her Fairy Godmother to her. Although I did think it was cool when everything was disintegrating around her.Then the Prince seemed like a sap, especially in the end. Turns out he is a blood mage too, and he had a Fairy Godfather. He even went through having all the women try on the crystal slipper, yet he knew all along that it was her that was the one. Then why didn't he just cut to the chase? Did he have to spend that much time when it was a waste?Besides the story line, the grammar was not the best. It could have used a good looking over. Was this even edited by someone other than the writer? If it was, that person[s] did not do a very good job.And yes, the sex was bad. I actually felt a little disgusted reading it, and very weirded out on some parts. Just, ew. Also, the girl just kept crying all the time, and her name is Cinderella? That's her real name? And is she going to change it, because I would. All in all, one of the worst stories I've read in a very long while.
