Another wonderful free story! I grew up with the Disney princesses and really enjoyed a fresh realistic take on the Cinderella story. Really enjoyed the writing style. Sometimes there is too much info. You find yourself skimming half the page to get what little info you needed through all the extra stuff, and then there is not enough where you are left wondering too much. But the story was well developed enough to give you a taste of everything and not drown you at the same time. I'm guessing sm...more

Eleanor Brice, Alexander's Cinderella character, is no gentle soul with a sweet singing voice. She's a thoroughly modern woman navigating a society that isn't. And it turns out Prince Charming can't stop being charming...to everyone else. Each character was so well written and each scene was thoughtfully created. In this tale, animals can talk, unicorns and dragons are real, and fairies are jerks. Outside of the fantastic world-building, there is a beautiful love story wrapped up in tragedy. The...more

Only in this case, we should change the word to Princess, because it's our heroine, Eleanor who is the strong one.

The Cracked Slipper follows what happen after the prince (Gregory) finds Cinderella (Eleanor). Only unlike Cinderella 2, the Disney version, this reads a lot more like life here.

But with some crucial differences. For one, this is a magical kingdom. There are unicorns and dragons (both of which are put to work), magicians and witches (no fairy godmothers though), all of which make the normal court politics (Which is already too complicated for me to play) more, um, fun. Plus, the evil step-mother and one step-sister don't go down without a fight - they're fighting like ladies (through the court, through the court).

The most surprising thing is that there's no happily ever after, romance-wise, for Eleanor and Gregory. For some reason, she falls in love with Dorian, Gregory's best friend, and it's this conflict that most of the book is pre-occupied with. But since she can't leave Gregory..... Well, I just hope that in the next book (this is left unresolved, so I think there's a next book), she can find a solution. Preferably one that involves her keeping her wedding vows, although Gregory isn't the best husband (morally).

However, I would like to caution that the f-word is used quite a few times, and there are a few sexual references too. So even though this is a retelling of the fairy-tale, I only recommend it for mature readers. There are, however, quite a few positive things, like friendships and love inside (apart from the plot, which is interesting). It's all up to you on what is your deal breaker.

All in all, this is a pretty interesting book. It takes a really real-life approach to the whole fairy-tale stories, which means that it should appeal to women (older teens and up).

THE CRACKED SLIPPER was an odd, disjointed mix of missed connections and wtfery. I wanted to like it. The synopsis kind of had me at the whole 'talking parrot spy' thing. But the more I read it, the more it just kind of lost me because you had no idea what it was leading up to. There was no character development, the talking animals didn't add a single thing to the story, and then it just ended. Seriously. It JUST ENDED.

I also really liked Alexander's ability to easily and clearly switch POV, I thought it was quite well done. And the romantic tension was quite engaging, along with the main plot.

The Cracked Slipper is the story of Cinderella after "happily ever after" has worn off, and real life has set in.

Despite being based on Cinderella, this book breaks away from the fairy tale, and becomes its own story. Starting with the ending of the original story, Cracked Slipper tells the tale of Eleanor realizing that "love at first sight" probably isn't a good basis for a stable relationship.

This book is 80% Eleanor falling out of love with Prince Charming or attending parties, and only 20%...more

The was such a beautiful, more "realistic" spin on the "Cinderella story." While it has just a few similarities to the old-time, classic fairy tale in the beginning, there is much more "reality" to it than your old favorite. This is set with a much more authentic "golden days" environment, with a bit of fantasy in the mix. No fairy god mothers, but witches; instead of talking woodland friends (like mice) you get a much better intelligent dialogue from the family pet fowl and the revered unicorn...more

Although Stephanie Alexander's novel is a re-imagining of the Cinderella fairy tale, she quickly builds a world and story of her own, so rich in characters, setting, and fantasy-mixed-with-the-perfect-amount-of-realism that reading it felt like discovering a timeless classic for the first time. Her heroine, Eleanor Brice, is no regular princess or damsel in distress, and one of the most charming aspects of this book is that, as the story unfolds, you see that no character is entirely what he or...more

What an interesting take on the Cinderella story. Things aren't always rosy once the curtain closes. I think that's why I liked this. I enjoy stories that take the original idea and turn it on its head. Prince Charming turned out to not be as charming as we thought. Not only that Cinderella becomes disenchanted with her royal husband and finds herself drawn to someone else. Eleanor was a great character in that she wasn't the fanciful girl most Cinderella stories make of their main heroine. The...more

More fantasy than I expected, this take on the Cinderella story shows that happily ever after is rarely that. It's also a cautionary tale about love at first sight, though you could argue that Eleanor's other love interest was also love at first sight. But ultimately, dating for awhile would either prove the love out--or not. Another reviewer mentioned how Gregory was really not that likeable. This is true, but just about every time I was set to completely turn against him, he would do something...more

I was given this book by the publisher for an honest review.

The Cracked Slipper is a fairy tale twist (my favorites, it seems) on Cinderella. In this book, we pick up where the handsome prince finds Cinderella (Eleanor) and they are about to be wed. Everything from that point on is different, though.

I love fairy-tale retellings, and I love stories that start where most stories end, so this book seemed to be right up my alley. And I did enjoy it, although not as much as I'd hoped to. The middle of the book sank into a kind of depressing soap opera, and the real "plot" going on in the background wasn't developed as much as I would have preferred. Why four stars, then? Because Stephanie Alexander writes REALLY WELL. At NO point, even in the middle, when I was wondering if anything interesting...more

Stephanie Alexander gives happily ever after a dose of reality while expanding upon the beloved story of Cinderella. On her journey from peasant to princess, Eleanor (Cinderella’s counterpart), realizes destiny and fate aren’t all they’re "cracked" up to be in a kingdom where witches and women are oppressed by men and wizards.

The premise of this book is so unique, and I'm a huge fan of fairy tale adaptions, pseudo-renaissance settings, and unicorns. On a personal level, this really hit the spot...more

And unfortunately for Eleanor, things arent’ quite what she hoped. She lives in a huge castle, barely sees the prince, and her intelligence and education are not appreciated at all. What makes m...more

I always insisted that if i don't like the style of writing I can't read a book no matter how good the plot, if the prose is great I will still enjoy the book even if the storyline isn't that great. Well, I discovered that even if I do like the prose of a book, if the plot lacks, I really don't enjoy reading it either.
Alexander is a skilled writer, her style of writing is really great. But the storyline was lacking for me. I found lots was picked up and left unfinished and it sort of just ended. I get somehow the idea behind the book. I just didn't think it went anywhere. When I finished I thought, and what was the point of that?

Half the time it felt like being in medieval high school. The other half I kept wondering what point Alexander is trying to make. Was there a message behind this? There were tinges of feminist empowerment, the whole love triangle and the intrigues all ended up feeling a bit discombobulated.

The characters were inconsistent to me while some were great like Eleanor, written with deep insight and subtlety, others were simple stereotypes like Gregory.
The world building was quite good. Except that the talking animals somehow were unnecessary and ended up being too much, bordering on weird.

To be honest I kept on wondering if I like the original fairytale to much to appreciate this book. I like the traditional fairy tales and was brought up on the proper Grimm stories. Another thing I pondered over after reading this. It is possible that this is the case. I concede that the first couple of chapters I might have been a bit biased by that. But I kept reading due to two reasons as mentioned previously Alexander writes beautifully and I wanted to see where she will take this. And then the book ended. I was left wondering.

I can see that this could have been meant as a critic to the HAE but somehow that wasn't explored. And if that was the case, why set it in the whimsical setting? Why the intrigue? Why ad women's rights issues into it? Then there is the love triangle, which was left unfinished just was kinda not here nor there.

I really wanted to like this book, again I think Alexander is a great writer, but in my opinion it fell short on execution in the end. I wonder if maybe Alexander simply tried to do too much ?

The prologue drops you into this retelling of Cinderella’s escape from the life-changing ball where she loses one of her precious glass slippers (one of which is cracked, hence the title of the novel). If you’ve read Cinderella or watched the animated film, you get the gist. But this tale of Cinderella’s plight has a slight twist—an intimate look inside the happily-ever-after portion of her story. With witches instead of fairy godmothers and talking animals as pets, this isn’t your mother’s fairy tale. I mean, there are talking unicorns! What more could you need?

One thing I noticed right away: the writing is engaging. While The Cracked Slipper needs some editing because of misplaced and extra (unnecessary) words, and an over-excessive use of the word ‘a’, those errors don’t hinder the reader from enjoying Eleanor’s story too much. The world building is pretty solid as you can picture where Eleanor lives and feel like it’s a real place.

The Cracked Slipper has the feel of a period piece with modernized language thrown in—mostly profanity. Some of it is fitting to the book’s tone like the word “dragonshit,” but some of the language would be more suitable to a contemporary romance novel. It’s always odd to me when I read a story where the characters are so refined and proper in their everyday life, yet they drop the F-bomb when pissed like it’s nothing. It made me do a double take.

Things aren’t as happy as you’d think a happily-ever-after should be, but I believe that’s Alexander’s intent with Eleanor’s story. This isn’t a tale about the make-believe princess you expect to read. It’s raw, gritty, and true to life. The realism behind the pauper-turned-princess story relates what it means for Eleanor to be a person of worth after being considered worthless for so long.

The book touches on the harsh realities of Eleanor’s family dynamic somewhat but focuses more on what life is like for her as a princess and wife. Alexander doesn’t beat around the bush when it comes to making this story feel real. Eleanor’s wedding night is anything but fabulous and it made me appreciate the author’s intent. With that in mind, I think it’s a bad sign when your fiancé shows up hammered on the eve of your wedding and ends up a passed out drunken mess by the end of your wedding night. Foreshadowing much? I think if Eleanor truly thought about what her prince’s behavior meant, regarding Gregory’s character and how he would treat her, she may not have gone through with the wedding. But then there’d be no story. Or would there?

I didn’t like Gregory as a character. He’s mean, manipulative, and charming all at the same time. Alexander portrays the man behind the royal title as the biggest asshole in the world with exemption to decorum, and it leaves his character room to express his true colors without consequence. I think as readers, we sometimes forget the princes, heroes, and good guys are men underneath it all. And as men, they tend to give in to their baser natures. That fact doesn’t bode well for Eleanor and leads her to seek comfort elsewhere. Enter the gallant and charming Dorian (I loved his character, by the way); he’s everything Gregory isn’t and has a genuine interest in Eleanor as a person, not just as a piece of property. As Gregory’s opposite and best friend, he’s a better fit for the princess, yet finds himself a slave to the bro code. You feel sympathy for Dorian where Gregory makes a girl second guess ever wanting to marry a prince.

Another appealing dynamic of the novel deals with the female presence in the world Alexander has created. The women involved in magic are called witches while the men are just magicians. It’s a little thing, but a title says a lot about people’s conceptions of others. The married women are treated as objects, which is a familiar theme used in period pieces before women had any rights. But no amount of sugar makes it go down easy. The women we’re introduced to deal with their lot in life differently. For the most part, every married woman succumbs to her husband’s will—none more than Eleanor. One of the things that frustrated me about her character is the lack of respect she receives from Gregory. I kept wondering how much of a doormat can one woman be. She knows he’s unfaithful, a drunk and verbally abusive on occasion (which you know may lead to physical abuse) yet has no real option for escape. What is there for her to do in a world where married women are the property of and dependent upon their husbands? I’m not sure what Alexander was trying to say on this topic, but I know it pissed me off and made me scream at my book quite a few times.

For the most part, I liked The Cracked Slipper, but I didn’t understand the plot twist near the end. Aside from that, the ending isn’t very fulfilling. There’s an open-endedness to the resolution of a few issues, and it reads like a bad soap opera. Initially, I didn’t think this way, but as I worked toward the final pages, I was disappointed in how the plot disintegrated. There’s no resolution to the state of Eleanor and Gregory’s marriage; Eleanor and Dorian’s relationship status remains up in the air, leaving the reader confused. I don’t know if that means a sequel is in the works or what. I wanted to like this book more but couldn’t find it in my heart to do so. With more polishing of the plot and characters, this novel could have been much more enjoyable. You can’t lead readers on for hundreds of pages just to leave them with a you-decide-what-happens ending. That doesn’t work for this novel. I would recommend The Cracked Slipper for anyone 17 or older who may be interested in a behind-the-scenes look into a fairytale. Just be warned it may frustrate you in the end.

I love how Alexander weaves in the fantasy elements in The Cracked Slipper. The unicorns are especially a part of the story that stand out to me. Eleanor had a very special connection to her unicorn that really sold the relationship between the royals and unicorns. I felt a small amount of trepidation going into this novel because I thought it would be more focused on politics, but Alexander does an excellent job of weaving court politics around Eleanor's routine and the romance. The romance I thought was completely out of this world. Eleanor had it pretty hard being married to Gregory since he wasn't much of a gentleman or very caring when it came to respecting the sanctity of marriage. Adding into her strong attraction to Gregory's best friend, Dorian, and the romance takes a familiar turn into a love triangle.

Alexander writes evenly by giving the right amount of attention to each parts of the plot while still keeping in mind where the story would lead. I never found my mind wandering to when the story would get the a point or get exciting. The Cracked Slipper is intriguing from beginning to end with a very wide range of emotions to draw readers in even further. I fell deeply for Eleanor and Dorian, and even Gregory burrowed into my heart by the end of the novel. I would love to see them embark on another adventure, but I think The Cracked Slipper adequately introduces Stephanie Alexander and her extraordinary gift for storytelling.
