Let’s start with the cover: Absolutely gorgeous!!! It pulled me in with a combination of the shattered glass slipper and the quote.
Moving on to the blurb: definitely informative. Makes the direction of the plot clear which is something I find very important. It’s informative without spoiling the story which is great. I hate a blurb which just regurgitates the 1st paragraph.
The first look: it’s definitely a strong start and I’m falling in love with it already. I loved the flowing langauge and authors style of writing. What I loved the most about this however, is that it goes back to the original Grimms Cinderella, gore and all. It’s already set the book apart as most retellings tend to focus on the modern version of the tale.
I’ll definitely be picking up a copy since I’m already itching to get my hands in the rest!
