My Review for Sleeping Beauty Vampire Slayer
MY OPINION:
I read Sleeping Beauty Vampire Slayer and loved it, so I had high hopes for this one. Cinderella is one of my favorite fairytales after all.
I read Sleeping Beauty Vampire Slayer and loved it, so I had high hopes for this one. Cinderella is one of my favorite fairytales after all.
It didn't disappoint either.
I love the darker retelling of this story, where Cinderella is still a servant girl, but in the end is so much more strong and powerful. It's her ninja and magic skills that empower her though, and in an exciting way.
I like that this series is those books with alternate endings. There are eight possibilities, though you always start and finish the book the same way. I still can't wait to take a different approach next time.
5/5
