Amazing series!
I don't usually like sci-fi novels, but this was amazing! It's a fairytale retelling of cinderella with a sci-fi twist. Highly recommend!

Great book!! One of my favourite Stephen King novels so far. It's been a long time since I read this book but I would definitely pick it up again.
