Imagine the Cinderella fairytale without the sweet fairy godmother, that Prince Charming was a louse, and Cinderella was a witch capable of cruelty and spitefulness. Sharpe’s retelling of the classic tale includes lust, deception, and violence. Nothing you’d ever expect in the Cinderella myth, but still the heart of the story survives in this re-imagining for mature readers. . . .

Let me say it as simply as I can: I loved Ember.
I loved that instead of the Disnified empty cardboard characters, the author has filled them out so that they are people—people that readers can identify with, people that readers can love.
Fairytales were never my kind of story, which is probably why I grinned when I read the premise for Ember. Cinderella wicked? Looks like Disney better go do a remake for one of their classics.
