Simple but entertaining.
This was a very good book; I enjoyed it’s creative retelling of Cinderella and the Mulan fairytales. It was very well written, at times almost beautiful. I took off one star for what seemed to me to be unnecessary lewdness; I would recommend it only for ages fifteen and up. All in all, a good read.
Unfortunately, this book didn’t grab my interest from the start. I tried to get into it, and kept thinking it would pick up. I finally gave up. DNF.
Nothing I liked. Okay writing. Totally unrealistic.
