Hmm...

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.

Kudos

Possible triggers with child abuse being alluded to (no graphic descriptions but you are aware that it happens)

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.
