Cinderella went to the ball, leaving her slipper at midnight, but when the Duke comes around to try the glass slipper on eligible young women, Cinderella doesn’t get her chance. When the Evil Stepmother sells Cinderella as a servant to a gruff man, Cinderella decides to escape from his wagon. Cinderella is wandering on the side of the road when she meets a nice servant girl from the castle who helps Cinderella find a job at the castle. As Cinderella starts to unveil the corrupt Grand Duke and befriend the King’s sister, the Duchess, she also crosses paths with the prince.
I loved this twist on the Cinderella story. Cinderella was an empathetic character who was like-able and easy to cheer on. Although the corruption of the Grand Duke was predictable, it was a fun spin in the story. I also liked the development of Cinderella and the prince’s relationship.
