The author didn’t try to divert too much from the original, and the only major change she did is to have Cinderella becoming Cinder, the young cousin of the two twin sisters from hell, Penelope and Jessalyn. Cinder will fall in love with his Prince Charming, Xavier, but Xavier is the heir to the crown, and he needs to marry to a certain age, to meet the requirement to be eligible to the throne, and his birthday is upcoming. How Xavier and Cinder will manage to achieve their happily ever after is part of the reason why you will have to read the story, cause that wasn’t in the original Cinderella fairy tale.I liked the author maintained the story to an “ingénue” level, just some chaste kisses; I’m not sure if the two even consummate their love, cause, well, like in the old tradition, the author says and doesn’t say, leaving to the imagination of the reader to fill the dots.Another point that I liked is how the author approached the homosexuality; first of all this is a fantasy story, so well, isn’t like there a right or wrong way, but the author simply had Cinder admit to himself he prefers men, but in a way like he was admitting he prefer fish over meat. Of course there were troubles involved, Xavier needs to marry a woman, but well, Cinder being a man wasn’t really the main issue, in a way it was more problematic that Cinder was a servant and Xavier a prince. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 Fairy Tale Stars *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2015* Right from the beginning, this had that familiar tone of a fairytale: light, bouncy, easily recognizable character types, and even a healthy level of innocence in both of the main characters, Eldon and Xavier.This does come with a twist, though, and maybe one you’re not expecting. Not that I was thinking a lot ab out it, but it sort of surprised me. How would it play out?About half way through and I still couldn’t decide if that twist was working. The writing is certainly good, the story moving along at a good pace, very readable, and nothing was too heavy, just a bit of conflict and angst. I just didn’t know yet how I felt about it, how the main conflict was getting resolved.I will say that I was definitely pulling for Eldon and Xavier to have their happily ever after. It’s a fairytale after all. ;)By the end, I still couldn’t decide how I felt about the twist and resulting resolution. Something about it didn’t sit right with me. I know this is a fairytale and doesn’t warrant much time spent in the overthinking things category, but it’s causing me to do just that.This is sweet and cute and a quick read. Whenever you’re looking for a palate cleanser, those shorter stories that allow you to reset after a particularly challenging read, this is definitely a nice option.* Originally reviewed for Prism Book Alliance® ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A great take on the classic story *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019* I’ve read other fairytale reimaginings, some good, some not so good, but I really enjoyed this one. There’s a lot of humor, and a lot of sweetness, too. Unlike in the original, the prince gets the opportunity to spend time with his spouse-to-be, and it’s a treat to see their relationship develop. The magic here’s a bit different, and very clever. I haven’t read any of this author’s other books, but I’ll be giving some of them a try. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/62659350-cinder-paperback-march-29-2018](https://www.desertcart.in/products/62659350-cinder-paperback-march-29-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
