I struggled to get my head around a world that is magic half the time/tech the other half. When magic was up I saw the world in some sort of old fairy tale type way but then Hugh'd be in a Lazyboy chair and it would just throw me off completely. I couldn't get myself to see it as some sort of modern world with magic. I just couldn't.
As for the romance between our two leads, I was enjoying the slow build up but now they're at that point where things could become more permanent if they'd just talk about things, like what she is...?I
I wouldn't mind reading the second one and hopefully the world building will sink in next time.

This is a dark, very different retelling of the classic Cinderella.
You won't find a nice Fairy Godmother or glass slippers here......death, slavery, abuse, yeah, that's here and you know what? I like it. I like the darkness, the fight that Ella has within her, the fire that she shows. I do feel sorry for her though, from the beginning the odds of a happy, fortunate life were stacked against her and people seemed to just take advantage......big mistake!
Definitely not a sweet fairytale for children. This is for adults with a glass of something strong in hand and a free evening.
