January 31, July 20, Katy. By Katy Goodwin-Bates Playing with my daughter is, for the uninitiated, a confusing experience. I won this advanced reading copy from a website hosting a YA book giveaway. Very exciting! It took me awhile to finish due to May being the craziest month ever for me. This book is told in Acts. Strong world building, jumped right into the action, likable protagonist, interesting magic system. Act 2 was not as good in comparison. The author introduced two storylines that were based on Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. I didn't I won this advanced reading copy from a website hosting a YA book giveaway. I didn't like that. I felt like the author did a wonderful job drawing me into a very unique and expertly told story of her own and then this reimagining of old fairytales was inserted into it. It felt very jarring. The third act was the climax into the ending. This act was very strong as well with the story moving at a quickened pace and character storylines coming to a close. I gave this book 4 strong, bright stars. I loved so much about it. I just left one star off for the middle of the book being a little weak and for the fairytale stuff. I recommend this book! Aug 04, Whitley Birks marked it as dnf. I'm just really not feeling this book. Mostly because of the villain. She's so hammy, and any attempts to make her 'grey' or give reason for her villitude are just clunky at best. Plus, carrying on about her amazing sexy looks while she's villaining is just The fantasy aspects and plot are nothing to write home about, and Bristal sacrifices having a personality for being an observer, so there's just really nothing holding me in this book. Rating: 3. The set up was a bit contrived and I was strongly against it, so much so that I wanted to DNF, but the temptation of the romance was too much and I'm really glad I stuck with it because the writing and story became smoother as the author settled into the fairy tales.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Bristal is an orphaned servant girl who finds out she has super-speshul powers and that she is a super-rare, super-powerful immortal elicromancer. Elicromancers were wiped off during a war centuries earlier and Bristal is only the 3rd known one still alive apparently they're not all that immortal afterall. Becoming an elicromancer involves being thrown into a lake called the Water that's hidden deep in the forest — if you drown, you're not an elicromancer; if you're worthy, you get spit out wi Bristal is an orphaned servant girl who finds out she has super-speshul powers and that she is a super-rare, super-powerful immortal elicromancer. Becoming an elicromancer involves being thrown into a lake called the Water that's hidden deep in the forest — if you drown, you're not an elicromancer; if you're worthy, you get spit out with a shiny new elicromancer stone that channels or enhances your powers or something…it's not really clear. The pacing in this book is so weird. Not only does Tamarice tell Bristal she's turning dark almost immediately after meeting her but she also tries to lure Bristal to the dark side. Then only 20 percent into the book, Tamarice has a Maleficent moment on Princess Rosamund's name day, curses the princess and vows to destroy the kingdom. Bristal, despite being a brand spanking new elicromancer with little training is given the task of hiding Princess Rosamund away and protecting her until Brack can find Tamarice and destroy her. It's hilarious that immediately after Tamarice curses the princess and destroys half the castle, Brack tells the King "welp, the only thing we can do is take your long-hoped-for infant daughter away, change her name and have a stranger take care of her" and everyone is like "okay sure no problem". So Bristal disguises herself and takes "Rosie" to a peasant village. Then we have a time jump and Rosie is a teenager. Bristal eventually has her mortal??? I found it stupid that Bristal was given the job of protecting Rosie but is away from her more than she's there to protect her. And she puts a human in charge of the princess instead? Also, I never really understood the characters of Drell and her grandmother Kimber. Were they mortal, somewhat magic? It's never explained. Rosie's cousin, Elinor, who was also sent into hiding and is known as the "Lost Duchess" takes on the role of Cinderella in the book. With Bristal as her fairy godmother. Bristal thinks it's important that Elinor marry her betrothed, Prince Charles, who is heir to the throne of one of the kingdoms. I suppose it's better than dragging it out? We wouldn't want suspense or anything. Shortly after, a mysterious boy rides through the forest next to Rosie's hovel and meets the lovely young maiden Rosie and falls immediately in love with her. He tells her he's a peasant boy but while in disguise with the Realm Alliance, Bristal discovers he's the prince of one of the other kingdoms and was betrothed to Rosie on her name day. She just blurts it out without a background check or anything! I was half hoping Prince Nicolas was evil or something and it'd bite her in the butt. Speaking of bad decisions, Brack tells Bristal that Tamarice has set traps to catch the 2 good elicromancers. They normal travel by disapparating materializing and Brack tells her that Tamarice can track her in sort of a no-man's-land so she shouldn't travel by materlializing…so Bristal immediately does travel by that mode of transportation, gets trapped but she's rescued by Brack in less than a page, so what was the point, really? The Curse is eventually enacted and Rosie falls asleep. For like a couple days or weeks, big whoop. Bristal finds out her true parentage and I'm not quite sure how that works since her parents died in the elicromancer war centuries before she was born but whatever. Her father, of course, is the most powerful elicromancer ever so you can see how things are going to turn out. There's a battle, some side characters no one cares about die, Tamarice is easily killed, the Curse is broken…it's pretty anti-climatic. This book reminded me a lot of Uprooted , another highly-praised 'new' fairy tale that I failed to see the hype for. The best thing I can say about this book is that nothing is drawn out…but I'm not sure that the plot moving at break-neck speed is really an improvement. Maybe this is one of those times when a duology would've worked better and the plot and characters could've been fleshed out a bit more and not made so many hasty, reckless decisions. Aug 27, Elisa The-Bookie-Monster added it. Mar 22, Portia rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this. It was new and I like how there were so many references to other fairytales. May 16, Cassi rated it really liked it Shelves: owned-arcs , debuts. This was an absolutely fantastic read. It was the perfect combination of a fairy tale retelling and a epic fantasy. It was full of magic and adventure. I'm not sure if I would call this a fairy tale retelling but it definitely had aspects of that. It is almost a love letter to the classic fairy tales that we know and love. It rewrites those stories in an interesting way and intertwines them in a complex and c This was an absolutely fantastic read.

  • The Fairy-Tale Facade: Cinderella's Anti-Grotesque Dream
    The Fairy-Tale Facade: Cinderella’s Anti-grotesque Dream Alexandra Robbins Cinderella and the prince lived, they say, happily ever after, like two dolls in a museum case never bothered by diapers or dust, never arguing over the timing of an egg, never telling the same story twice, never getting a middle-aged spread, their darling smiles pasted on for eternity. Regular Bobbsey Twins. That story. (Anne Sexton, “Cinderella”) In “The Model,” a fictional tale in Joyce Carol Oates’ Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque, Oates employs the simile “as vague and unexam- ined as a childhood fairy tale” (Oates 111). Certainly, fairy tales can heavily influence early childhood, particularly regarding perceptions of those characteristics and demeanors traditionally considered “good” or “evil.” As Madonna Kolbenschlag details in Kiss Sleeping Beauty Good- bye, “Fairy tales are the bedtime stories of the collective conscious- ness .... They are shared wish fulfillment, abstract dreams that resolve conflicts and give meaning to experience” (3). Not just mere short sto- ries with marketable maxims, fairy tales can worm their way into a child’s subconsciousness, where images and attitudes can then perpetu- ate societal standards. “Often despised as silly or grotesque,” Alfred Corn writes, “fairy tale is the Cinderella among literary forms, going so much further than its humble origins seemed to promise and providing us with many sharply outlined archetypes and clichkd metaphors (like the Cinderella analogy in this very sentence)” (612). Cinderella repre- sents the quintessential fairy tale, with its chaste damsel in distress, wicked steprelatives, patriarchal royalty, and, of course, Prince Charming and the ever-trite wish come true.

This coming-of-age narrative uses fairy tale magic as a backdrop for the exploration of adolescence and queer identity, reinventing Cinderella as the young Aishling—who goes by Ash—a vocal and inquisitive young teen whose grief acts as a catalyst for her entry into the supernatural world. Much like the classic tale, Ash loses both of her parents within a few years and is left to the mercy of her stepmother and two stepsisters.

    Ashputtel Fairy Tale Reappears Into Dystopian Cinder THESIS Submitted as Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Sarjana Degree of English Department Faculty of Arts and Humanities UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya By: Aulia Kartika Sari Reg. Number: A93214138 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SUNAN AMPEL SURABAYA 2018 ii iii iv v ABSTRACT Sari, Aulia Kartika. 2018. Ashputtel Fairy Tale Reappears Into Dystopian Cinder. English Department, faculty of Arts and Humanities. State Islamic University of Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Thesis Advisor: Sufi Ikrima Sa’adah M. Hum This study examines the elements and several concepts on Ashputtel by Brothers Grimm that have been modified and rewritten into Cinder by Marissa Meyer. This study focuses on the way characters on Ashputtel are reflected into Cinder and the way Fairy tale’s concept of Ashputtel is reappeared in dystopian’s novel in Cinder. This study uses the qualitative method and applies intertextuality as the main theory and new criticism as the supporting theory. The result of the study shows that both Cinder and Ashputtel exhibit some differences in the attitude and characteristics of the main characters, the characterization of the life-saver characters, and the prince’s personality. Moreover, some of the fairy tale concepts in Ashputtel reappear in Cinder in the concepts of good versus evil, magical hero, the setting of place and time, and the ending of the story.
