I have this thing for retellings. Like, it's the same but only different. It's unique and original at the same time as it was adapted. I've been meaning to read this for a long time, and i think the only reason I brought it up to the top of my TBR list is because Malinda Lo is coming in for an autho...
This is a lesbian Cinderella re-telling. 'Nough said, right?Actually, it's probably not what you think. It's a strangely cold and bleak book in many ways.

I didn't really mind the abrupt ending, which I thought was in keeping with the fairy tale convention as well, but I think the language was ...
Well written YA with quite a different plot to anything else I've read recently. Deals with same-sex relationships in a very, very good way - something that should be more prevalent in YA in general.
See this review and more on The Moonlight Library!When Ash’s mother, full of fairy tales and knowledge of the old ways, dies, her father remarries a woman who brings two horrendous daughters to the household. Well, Ash is a Cinderella retelling, so that bit should be obvious. But this is a Cinderell...
