There were some moments of frustration, but they didn’t really cloud my enjoyment of the book. *END SPOILER*Īll in all, I really enjoyed Ash. It is inspired by Cinderella, but no more than that. To me, this departure from the how and the why of Cinderella is why Ash isn’t a fairy tale retelling. The prince is there, but Ash dances with the Huntress and then her fairy boy gets pissed. This isn’t “the prince falls for Ash and she chooses the Huntress anyway.” This isn’t “the princess falls for Ash and she falls for the princess.” This isn’t even “the prince falls for Ash but she likes his sister.” No. In Ash, he’s basically a background character. He changes the Cinderella figure’s life, whether that is in a good way or not. In the original tale and most retellings, he is the catalyst for change. *SPOILER* For me, Cinderella stories are a lot about the prince. Now, for why this isn’t a fairy tale retelling to me.
