Ashlynn is the daughter of Cinderella. She, as it seems most characters are, is a vegan (written as such to be politically correct?) She talks to a wide variety of animals and they pack her trunk for her. She is required to marry a prince when she gets old enough.I've gone through several of these teaser books and there's a couple of things I can't figure out It seems that the children are to repeat what happened to their parents. But, if you repeat the past on purpose, over and over, then there is no progress in society, no advancement, just stagnation. It also assumes that there will be no unexpected events like, perhaps, someone scheduled to become married to a prince dying of an accident before that marriage can take place.Another thing that will be interesting to find out is just how exact does the replication of what happened to their parents have to be? Also, is this all taking place in some other reality not tied in to ours? For example, if you know someone is due to give someone else a poison apple to kill them on purpose then wouldn't it be logical to forewarn that person and report what is going on to the police?There's a whole lot of questions that will need to be answered.
