Reign of Cinders and Glass by Veronica Douglas, Linsey Hall
4.0

I'm not usually one to binge-listen to an audiobook, but Reign of Cinders and Glass had me from the very first chapter. I loved the way the author intertwined the classic story of Cinderella with a supernatural, vampiric realm. 
I felt quite mixed when it came to the narrators, though. I loved the female narrator, I felt that she captured Ella's character and emotions beautifully, expressing her perfectly. However, Cassius' narrator was quite disappointing. I felt he had a very monotonous and uninterested tone throughout the whole audiobook, like he was simply reading off a script, offering no real way to feel connected to Cassius. Though I loved understanding things from Cassius' point of view, getting through the chapters with the narrator felt like a drag.
I also adored how Ella wasn't written as some sort of damsel in distress, as most FMC's usually are nowadays. It was a nice refreshment following the story of a valiant, headstrong character who wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
The ending was extremely well resolved and I couldn't be happier to have had the chance to listen to this book, so thank you to the author and Dreamscape Media for giving me the chance to listen to Reign of Cinders and Glass, I'm looking forward to any new  and upcoming books by Lindsey Hall.
