So good! So gay! This is a reimagining of the Cinderella (called Ash here) fairy tale, and Im a sucker for that kind of thing. Lo manages to combine the really recognizable elements of the original tale (the evil stepmother and stepsisters, the ball that she has to rush out of at midnight, etc) with her own world building. The result is a super awesome new story.
And did I mention the love interest just happens to be a woman? So cool! Books where the young protagonist realizes and comes to terms with her sexuality and deals with coming out are important, dont get me wrong. But I also think its important to have stories where its not some big struggle and being gay is shown as no big deal and just how some people are. And here, the main focus of the story is on Ashs struggle with her stepfamily and her dealings with the fairy world and falling in love. The fact that Kaisa is a woman is justno big deal. And I loved that!
