This was a nice retelling of the Cinderella story, I did like it. It just didn't wow me. I think Cameron Dokey is a good writer and the books I've read by her in the past I thought were a bit deeper than this one. I really liked the setting in this novel...on an island in the sea with huge cliffs. And the magical elements were clever. It's just that nothing really stands out in this book as fabulous.
