438 pages
My Rating: A-
Currently the final book in the Ravenspire series. This came out in 2019, so it's possible there will be more, but I haven't seen anything one way or the other. I'd definitely love to see more, as this world is great fun. I'd love to hear more about the dragon race, and also about the fae people in this world. And there are so many more fairy tales she could cover, so I guess we'll see.
This story is Cinderella, as the summary above says, but it goes well beyond Cinderella. Blue and her Prince, Kellan, are not your usual Cinderella and Prince Charming. And Blue's "stepmother" is something else entirely.
I love this world, and hope she does more, as I love the darkness she weaves into her stories, and how she uses bits of the fairy tale to influence that world. Whether this is the end or not, I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants fairy tales with a new twist. Redwine does an excellent job of making the stories her own. Definitely a fun series to lose yourself in.
