This cute Cinderella retelling was sweet and clean. I loved the magic in the world that the author created, and the crazy twists that kept happening throughout! The clueless actions of the characters sometimes frustrated me, but I was able to hang in there and watch the main character grow from the family scapegoat into a heroine! Such fun!

I admit I was a little surprised at first when I found out that the final installment of Lisa Dawn's The Stolen Trilogy was going to be a retelling of Cinderella. That particular fairy tale has been retold so many times, in so many ways, that it seemed there was nothing new to be said on it, but this fresh and engaging take on the age-old tale exceeded my expectations. One of the most important character arcs in the trilogy is the gradual redemption of Lady Krystal, who began the trilogy as a shameless and self-absorbed social climber who would stop at almost nothing to increase her royal status, including betraying her longtime loyal friends. This book shows Krystal finally starting to learn that there's more to life than wealth and status, and that helping others can be rewarding as she finds herself in the role of unlikely fairy godmother, discovering her own talents and finding true love in an unexpected place along the way. Highly recommended for fans of young adult fairy tale/fantasy lit.
