The stories about her have been greatly exaggerated. Yes, she is beautiful, with wavy blond hair and big, blue eyes and flawless skin, but her charming facade is a lie, a mask, a deceit. Yes, yes, I'm sure you think me merely jealous. I'm not. I'm the victim, and I can prove it. You see, Eleonore deserves to be locked away. My, she even deserves to be killed! This gripping retelling of a much-loved fairy tale will make you question all you think you know about the girl who steals away to a ball and leaves behind a slipper. This volume contains Of Cinder and Madness, The Cost of Love, The Cost of Grief, and The Cost of Power.

Of Cinder and Madness

Heather Quarnstrom

Fantastic twist on a beloved fairy tale.

I started this and was first incredibly impressed by the writing style. I haven't read anything so expertly written in quite some time.

That aside, I was pulled directly into the story. I loved the twist that was put on the ages old Cinderella tale. It was fresh and imaginative and I was hooked. This author is now one of my absolute favorites. 

The characters are so real that I expect them to jump right off of the pages. The story has so many unexpected twists and turns, especially the ending, that I couldn't put it down.

I highly recommend this book to everyone! I personally look forward to reading more from this amazing author.
