A unique reimagining of Cinderella's featuring a fairy godmother who wants revenge against the Queen who killed her family and will need the help of Cinderella to do so. Farrow is an Entente, magical advisors to the Queen and they grant wishes. Ententes have been advisors to Queens for centuries and have lived in harmony and kept the peace in the kingdom. Yet when the new queen Magrit takes power, she immediately exiles magic and executes the Entente. Farrow is the only one to survive and her magic was broken beyond repair... yet now she spends her days pretending to be a human plotting her revenge against the queen. Farrow has only one goal: kill Queen Magrit. She spends years planning and finally gets the chance when she takes up the position as a special companion to the queen's son, Prince Mather. Mather is nothing like she expects and he genuinely begins to fall for her, yet Farrow has a mission and she will go through with it. The only way to reach the queen though is at the ball where Prince Mather will choose his bride... and the perfect bride for the job is Cinderella. Farrow will need Cinderella to complete her goals, yet things are only further complicated when those from her past come back and her own complicated feelings for the prince arise. This was definitely a unique reimagining of the classic story and it had so much going on yet I honestly wish it was condensed down a bit. This is only the first book in the series and I really don't see myself reading the rest of the books. While it was a unique retelling, it just was a bit much and I found myself getting bored and checking out of the book a lot. I think this would make a great read for fans of a darker twist on classic fairytales with a fantasy romance aspect though. While it didn't stand out to me, it definitely would make a great read for others!
