I am not familiar with a lot of fairy-tales, but I know Cinderella and I love this retelling better.
Ella is still slaving away for her evil step-mother and sisters In S.T. Lynn's version of Cinder Ella, Ella is an entrepreneuring and green conscious woman. Someone I would love to date. I love listening to what she does to save the earth in her daily life.
This is not to say that Princess Lizabeta is not worthy, but she definitely got the better deal with Ella.
Some other plot points are the same as the Disney version with the exception of what happens after the ball. It's brutal so fair warning.
This story deals heavily with transphobia and misgendering, so be prepared. Lynn casts today's light on what it is like to be a Black transwoman.
Cinder Ella is not all about social issues as this is a fairy-tale. There is a sweet clean romance between Ella and Lizabetta. I love it.
If you are looking for a different and great fairy-tale retelling: Cinder Ella is the rose among them.
