I really liked this retelling of Cinderella's story, alternating chapters between one of the rat coachmen's perspectives and Cinderella's. We learn that the rat is actually a Prince named Char, and that his family have been tied to Cinderella's for generations.

I really hate rats, but I liked this story. I feel like that says a lot. I was rooting for Prince Char the whole time, and I liked how it ended up. Lovely.
