Cinderella gets her prince and moves into the palace and lives happily ever after, right? Maybe not, if your wicked stepsisters won't give up and kidnap the prince!
Cindy teams up with two other princesses, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, and together they track down those two witches, the evil stepsisters and get Cindy's Prince Charming back!
Sounds like a lot of fun, right? Wrong. Unless you like lots of depictions of battles and tussles. I don't. I should have known what I was getting into when the first fight occurred within the first ten pages of the story. To me, it seemed like one of those books where the story is merely a transitional device to the next fight. Beyond the constant fighting though, the book is just not interesting. I never really cared about any of the characters until nearly the end of the book. The only part that captured my attention is where Danielle (aka Cinderella) ends up captive and serving her stepsisters just like in the bad old days. That was the only part of the book that I felt was compelling and interesting. The rest was just blah.
