  <default_description>What would happen if an author went back to the darker themes of the original fairy tales for his plots, and then crossed the Disney princesses with Charlie's Angels? What's delivered is &lt;I&gt;The Stepsister Scheme&lt;/I&gt; -- a whole new take on what happened to Cinderella and her prince after the wedding. And with Jim C. Hines penning the tale readers can bet it won't be &quot;and they lived happily ever after&quot;.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm very fond of fairy-tale-based books, but they have to be more than a straight re-telling.  Since, let's face it, I know how the story comes out.  Plus, I like a little subversiveness.  <em>The Stepsister Scheme</em> does that, plus goes into what happens after 'they lived happily ever after'.

    <body><![CDATA[So, this book drew my attention based on the cover and the title long before I knew anything about the premise. And I’m glad it did! It’s a really fun, rather cute book.<br/><br/>The premise in question is that the fairy tales are true, but the grapevine has tweaked the details a bit.
