The lead is continuously learning about life and herself. She's been wronged by people close to her and lost people she loved in unnatural ways. She has to cope with her feelings of anger at herself and others throughout. She also has to learn to control newfound powers. I wasn't crazy about the...
This book definitely lives up to my expectations of it. I probably loved this book more than I had expected to and even more so than I logically would have. But the fact is, sometimes you just love a book for no other reason aside from the fact that you love it.Following Suzume through her intense j...

More often than not I enjoy the enthusiastic reviews of my fellow goodreaders more ...
Wow, wow, wow. This is one of the best Cinderella retellings I've come across. The story is rich, the writing lovely and the romance heart-breaking.
