Cinder and Ella
by Melissa LemonFairy Tale, 208 pages
Expected publication: November 8th 2011
from Bonneville Books
After their father’s disappearance, Cinder leaves home for a servant job at the castle. But it isn’t long before her sister Ella is brought to the castle herself—the most dangerous place in all the kingdom for both her and Cinder. Cinder and Ella is a Cinderella story like no other and one you'll never forget.
The description is brief, but it's enough. Well, that and this fabulous cover. And the fact that I am obsessed with fairy tales. And that the author's last name is Lemon. Okay, there are a lot of reasons I want to read this book. I'm thinking this might have to be on the docket for the next FTF.
Anyone read an ARC of this one? (I believe it was on Netgalley) Anyone else wanting to read it? Or love the word lemon?
What's on your wishlist?
I read this one as an ARC, and I participated in the blog tour, too. :) It's a pretty good story, not my favourite retelling of a fairytale, but definitely one that I enjoyed. :D It's especially great because Melissa Lemon changes just enough that the story still retains certain elements of Cinderella, but is mostly its own story. The characters are also pretty great. :D Since you said you're obsessed with fairy tales, I think you'll like this one. :D
ReplyDeleteI have this on galley grab though I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Will do, soon, before it expires.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, I LOVE the word lemon! :D
