I&#39;m with you on everything you said, apart from Queen Camilla - I had a chuckle when I first encountered her, as I thought it was quite funny, even though I don&#39;t like the Duchess of Cornwall. I&#39;m sure it was meant more tongue-in-cheek than anything ^_^Goth Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817641889221748487[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-76195951526524374612012-11-24T23:28:07.136Z2012-11-24T23:28:07.136Zhey Dani (agatha90xo from twitter here ;)).

I like the cinderella&#39;s fairy tale (must of the times, I&#39;m not a big fan of love at first sight) and this seems an interesting take of it. <br />I&#39;m a little worry about the predictable twists, i don&#39;t like when i know where the story is headed (that is why i don&#39;t watch soap operas, and becausa my mother and sister said i ruined the story line for them,not my fault that all of them seem like the same one althought i just keep it to myself :S), yet i still read i few pages ahead so i know what happen. I&#39;m an strange reader!! ja ja (that is &quot;ha ha&quot; in spanish)<br />I can wait to read it, but i must eait since its not out in my country yet, but it&#39;s in Spain so i don&#39;t think that i wait that long :)<br />Good review.

Cinder&#39;s real identity was fairly predictable, despite that, it was still a really good read.
