What Risingshadow readers think about this book
This was a really enjoyable Retelling of Cinderella with great world building and some interesting twists. It is a short story so was a fairly quick read and I really enjoyed it. This is also the prequel for A Charming Hope were Prince Devon gets his story told.
I received a free copy of this book via the authors newsletter and am voluntarily leaving a review.
