She should not be that helpless in the first place.Īgain, not needing a prince charming to save the day is very much appreciated. This time the author did a magnificent job of Cinderella breaking all the rules and norms and running away from those toxic people for good. And with the classic story, she just let them do those horrendous things because she got nowhere else to go. I used to hate the idea of Cinderella being mistreated by her stepmother and two stepsisters and she was so helpless. The book discussed about the beauty and power of first love, women empowerment, and standing up for one’s self. This is definitely raining 5 precious stars. I enjoyed this book a lot! This is great because I have recently rated the last Twisted Tales that I have read with either 2 or 3 stars. I will never ever get tired of reading and watching this story even if with twisted and refined versions. It is also one of the childhood stories that I grew up with. So This is Love is the Twisted Tale edition of the Classic Fairy Tale, Cinderella.

Faced with questions of love and loyalty to the kingdom, Cinderella must find a way to stop the villains of past and present. But when the Grand Duke appoints her to serve under the king’s visiting sister, Cinderella becomes witness to a grand conspiracy to take the king-and the prince-out of power, as well as a longstanding prejudice against fairies, including Cinderella’s own Fairy Godmother.

What if Cinderella never tried on the glass slipper? Unable to prove that she’s the missing princess, and unable to bear life under Lady Tremaine any longer, Cinderella attempts a fresh start, looking for work at the palace as a seamstress. “Even the small joys are worth cherishing, and they will lead you to greater ones.”
