Yes, I deleted this one too. Oops, and it counts toward my goal this year!

So I loved the other books I read by this author, including the other retelling, Poisoned, and this one also did not disappoint in any way. I love the way this author tells a story and creates the characters in a way that they are more than just the plain flat characters we know from the original tellings of these fairy tales. I liked the different look at the stepsisters, because I always like to see all sides of a story, and often those who are the villains in one story are of course the hero in their own story. I hope this author will do another retelling in the future. I know she was part of a group of authors who did a story/book about King Henry VIII and his six wives, and that is on my list to read as well. I am not positive, but I think I got this one at the AASL convention in November of 2019 before the world went all crazy! It was one of my Beat my TBR Challenge reads for the year.
