You can't always judge a book by its cover.
What am I trying to say? This is not a book about Cinderella turning into a sexy gun-wielding Russian stripper.
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
Despite being completely misled, I really liked my first Cinderella volume. Although I'm not obligated to give reasons as to why, I'm going to enlighten you. For free.
Reasons Why This Didn't Suck
1. Cinderella may have to dumb it up or skank it up every now and then for the sake of being undercover, but she's still a complete badass.
2. While she is a badass, she also lets the reader know that she has doubts and is (internally) uncertain if she can beat her opponents. She's still completely mouthy and brave in the face of said opponents, however.
3. There were just enough old friends from Fables in this to make me swoon. There were not so many that it felt like just another Fables volume.
3a. Bigby is mentioned. Be still my beating heart. <3
4. There's a plot twist! DUN DUN DUN!
5. I actually liked the hopping between past and present. It was down in a way that didn't confuse me but instead educated me.
4 Stars (admittedly one is for pure nostalgia of the Fables series)
I'll read another one.
