Cinderella Is Dead

Autor Kalynn Bayron
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2021 – vârsta de la 13 ani
"Wholly original and captivating." - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that's perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert.

It's 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl's display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again.

Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella's mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all--and in the process, they learn that there's more to Cinderella's story than they ever knew . . .

This fresh take on a classic story will make readers question the tales they've been told, and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them.

Caracteristici

Kalynn Bayron is an exciting new author with a strong presence. In a tweet with over 12,000 likes she said: 'Princesses/Queens/chosen ones are NOT overdone for marginalized communities. Y'all so quick to declare something dead or overdone. You know what? Little black kids deserve to be chosen ones, have magic powers, and find out they're the last in a long line of dragon tamers.'

Recenzii

Bayron masterfully brings the reader into the action and the emotions of the characters. It is an intense experience, but a captivating one
A richly diverse and lovely read ... relevant, modern and inclusive
This was gay, romantic and perfectly set, with a mixture of traditional fairy tale elements that were flipped on their head and new elements that made it seem less susceptible to tropes and problems. It was a really enjoyable read and really put an exciting, original spin on the Cinderella tale
Did somebody say feminist? As someone who was raised on fairy tales and Disney, practically conditioned to believe the woman was supposed to be rescued by the man, I ADORED this book. I was captivated from the start and the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ themes warmed my heart. I can't wait to see what Bayron does next
Cinderella Is Dead is an incredible feminist retelling of the classic tale I never knew I needed in my life, but I'm so glad it exists
Bayron masterfully brings the reader into the action and the emotions of the characters. It is an intense experience, but a captivating one
