Book Summary:

We’ve all heard the story of Cinderella. But how often do we get to hear the story from Cinderella herself? This Cinderella has a lot to say about her story – and what they got wrong. For example, it wasn’t a magical metamorphosis but a carefully planned con.

She and her stepsisters had one specific goal. Capture the prince. Unfortunately, they may have gotten the wrong prince. What now?

My Review:

It’s been a hot minute since I read a fairy tale retelling (read: more than a week, gasp!). So, I decided to pick up Thief Liar Lady. It’s a Cinderella retelling, which I feel like have become less common as of late.

I love the overall concept of Thief Liar Lady. The idea that our leading lady is working on a complex plot, which may or may not involve prince-napping, is pretty fun and cool, right? It would have been so much fun if the story had stuck closer to that premise.

As it was, this book does get a little bloated. There were political layers that may not have been necessary, and that’s coming from me! However, if that’s my biggest complaint about this book, we’re doing okay.

Highlights:

• Cinderella Retelling
• Fairy Tale Vibes
• Romantic Fantasy
