I came across Cinderella is Evil on a friends Facebook page. Since I'm a complete sucker for Fairy Tale retellings and the price being free I didn't hesitate a second to pick this one up. As short stories go this is surprisingly packed with information. Cinderella is Evil if you haven't guessed by now is told from that of the "Evil" stepsister Anna. I love this character. I never thought I could feel sympathy for one of Cinderella's sisters but this Author had me doing so within just a few short pages. Anna in the original tale comes off quite horrid. I think in this tale she comes off more as a bratty step sister who is simply put jealous of pretty and perfect Cinderella.  Don't worry though, Anna completely redeems herself by the end.Another thing I also really liked is that we still see the tale as intended while viewing it from Anna's pov.  All my favorite parts of the original tale were included (the ball, the glass slipper & Prince Charming). Thankfully though this Author chose to keep the foot cutting out of it. Smart move indeed.Overall, I loved this short story. Cinderella is Evil was a satisfying read with great character development and I can't wait to see what this Author does with more Fairy Tales in the future. I highly suggest picking up a copy of this short and giving it a go. With that being said, I will be rating Cinderella is Evil by Jaime Campbell ★★★★.
