As a young reader, I absolutely loved fairy tales. Then in high school I enjoyed Greek mythology. In recent years, I have been doing a lot reading of Norse mythology.
How delighted I was to stumble upon an entire genre devoted to fairy tale retellings.
This latest one I read by Casey Lane does not disappoint. Cinderella Dreams of Fire (Fairy Tales Forever) (Volume 1)
Elle is merely biding her time while she slaves away. At night, she has been fighting, training, and stealing. Her godmother is like a cross between a kungfu master and a coach.
There is a happy ending and I would rate this as a CLEAN YA, no profanity, no steamy scenes and appropriate for middle schoolers and up.
Lots of BOOKLOVE for this fairy tale retelling!
PS – the author has an exclusive on their website where if you sign up for the newsletter, you will receive Snow White’s Revenge. I really enjoyed that novella and look forward to many more fairy tale retellings from Casey Lane.
