Cinderella is Evil (The Fairy Tales Retold Series) (currently free on Kindle)Cinderella is Evil is a re-telling of Cinderella where Cinderella is not actually evil.
I liked the story but didn't fall madly in love with it. It turns the entire Cinderella story into a series of misunderstandings amongst a family still grieving the loss of their father/step-father/husband. It does keep the general theme of the king hosts a dance to find his son a wife. The prince does find a woman then loses her, the only clue to her identity being a slipper.
This version is told from the perspective of one of Cinderella's step-sisters. A step-sister who has always felt ugly and unnoticed leaving her to envy Cinderella, even as she does love her.
I'm not sure what could have moved this book from okay to great. Maybe if it were longer (this is a novella) and more refined. I was waiting for someone to actually be evil. For drama that didn't seem forced.
