review 1: I am the first one to admit that I love Cinderella stories, but I almost could not finish this one. I thought the writing was choppy and really corny. I enjoyed it a little more when Michelle (this drove me nuts--I have never seen a man's name spelled this way) joined the story as our hero, but not enough to give this a good rating. It just seemed really juvenile and then there was this random sex scene in a blacksmith forge in winter (sorry-not romantic).Anyway, I was a bit disappointed (okay, very disappointed) with this story. Odel seemed too young to me, the fairy godmother was irritating, and even Michelle (a very successful mercenary) just didn't fit his character. Not a story I would recommend. 1.5 stars.
review 2: This was a fun play on Cinderella.... more.. set in the 1300's complete with Fairy Godmother and Rat's turned not into coachmen, but suitors! I enjoyed this as Michelle, the only human suitor for Odel/Cinderella is a "witch killer" and she works like crazy to keep him away from her fairy godmother Matilda who tends to throw fairy dust at will and do odd things with her magic wand all the while vowing never to marry! It was a fun afternoon read! less
