 Dark Fantasy November 22, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is the tale of the rat, which was turned into a coachman for Cinderella, and what befell him after the magic spell wore off at midnight. It's certainly not a light, fluffy fairy tale, but one full of dark fantasy and quite horrific at times. If you are a fan of The Brothers Grimm then this will be sure to appeal to you. The reader hears of mob rebellions, witch burning, plagues and deaths.
The author has cleverly entwined the Pied Piper and Cinderella to make a fantastic gothic tale about Amadea (Cinderella), and how she ends up accused of witchcraft. Along the way you'll hear detailed accounts of witch burnings, beheadings and the plague. The historical details are an added bonus to this marvellous story. Can her rat friend save her or will the angry villagers overthrow her and the Prince? Read this amazing book to find out. You'll be swept along with every page.
I recommend this for all lovers of dark fantasy and alternative fairy tales.
