Cinderella’s Princess

My Thoughts on Cinderella’s Princess

"Cinderella's Princess" offers a charmingly twisted take on the classic fairytale, and I found myself surprisingly invested in this yuri fantasy. While it's a relatively short and sweet read, clocking in as a complete story, it definitely left an impression.

First Impressions

The premise alone is enough to pique your interest. Instead of a fairy godmother, one of Cinderella's stepsisters secretly uses magic to become her benefactor. The whole "love interest falls in love first" trope is in full swing here, and I'm a sucker for that. This definitely sets the stage for a unique dynamic that deviates from the traditional narrative.

What Works Well

The core strength of "Cinderella's Princess" lies in its heartwarming portrayal of a forbidden love. The stepsister's affection for Cinderella, hidden beneath a facade of indifference (tsundere alert!), adds layers of complexity and emotional depth. The story is pretty fluffy, and if you are looking for a quick and easy read, this would be the novel for you.

Areas of Concern

I will say that the writing could use some polishing. At times, especially in the initial chapters, it felt a bit rough around the edges. It wasn't enough to completely derail my enjoyment, but I think a bit more attention to detail in the prose would elevate the story significantly.

Final Verdict

Despite some minor shortcomings in the writing, "Cinderella's Princess" is an enjoyable and heartwarming read. The unique twist on the classic fairytale, combined with the sweet yuri romance, makes it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre. If you're looking for a quick, easy, and fluffy read with a touch of magic and a whole lot of love, I'd recommend giving this one a shot.
