Very little description of the world just...suddenly MAGIC!
Read for the Trans Rights Read-a-thon and probably won't check out the other titles simply because not my length/detail/pace style.
Finishing it in 2 days is a record for me.
Heads up for some triggering behavior!

4.5
First of all, I read it in one sitting. I was so drawn to the characters and Ella's struggles that I wanted to see what was going to happen next. I also loved the ball scene; it was so fun.
I also love how it feels pretty similar to the usual Cinderella story we mostly hear -- a young girl who has been turned into a servant by her evil stepmother gets to go to the ball through a wish she makes.
I also want to say that the antagonist is SUPER EVIL. Like, she just told Lady Tremaine "hold my wine." But nice o see that we don't know what happened to her or her horrible daughters after the climax.
But everything else was really nice to read. The only reason why I bumped it down from 5 stars was because of some editing errors and that the names (in the Jones house) were confusingly similar.
