Cute short and fast. Felt more like reading a synopsis of a much bigger story and could have been far more fleshed out to become a longer read. 

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!

I really, really enjoyed this book!  This is much more than a simple rewrite with a trans Cinderella and a princess instead of a prince.  I really liked the new events added to the plot, and I loved Ella as a character.

My only (minor) complaint is that some sections moved too quickly for me to figure out how they followed from what had happened in the story before
The scene were Ella is tossed out of her home
in particular was hard for me to read.  Then again, Ella probably also found that part hard and unexpected in that moment, so that may be intentional.
