Sarah Prineas : Ash Bramble before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Ash Bramble:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. That was brilliant. How did Prineas come up with the idea ...By Rachel NeumeierWhoever would have thought of making the Godmother the villain? That was brilliant.How did Prineas come up with the idea of zapping everybodyrsquo;s memory, occasionally multiple times, so that no one in the book knows their own histories or names? By the second half of the book, the main protagonist doesnrsquo;t even remember the first half of the story. That was brilliant.What a great notion, making so many of the secondary characters who might have been bad guys into sympathetic characters ndash; the stepsisters especially; even the stepmother by the end. So clever to show how these fundamentally decent people are being misshapen into petty tyrants by the way theyrsquo;re all trapped in the story. And Prineas pulled this off with just a line here and a line there. That was brilliant.What an interesting stylistic choice, making Pinrsquo;s pov chapters first person present and Shoersquo;s pov chapters third person present. That actually worked for me ndash; I didnrsquo;t even notice the shifts between first and third until I was halfway through the book.Now Irsquo;m totally looking forward to the sequel. Which is based on Sleeping Beauty, evidently. Irsquo;m not aware of a lot of Sleeping Beauty retellings, but Irsquo;m fascinated to see what Sarah Prineas will do with this.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. is what made this book such a fun and satisfying read for meBy Deborah CoatesThis is not a typical retelling. There are princes and princesses and fairy godmothers and magic kingdoms. But the is not who you think she is and the princess is not just waiting for her prince to come.I generally come to novels with my own expectations and desires, a demand to be entertained and a hope that maybe I'll learn something. Ash Bramble delivers on all of that. It's the sort of novel that provides a unique perspective while still delivering a kick-ass story full of sword fights and adventure and occasional party dresses about characters I cared about and rooted for. It has delightful little gifts to the reader, moments of the familiar mixed cleverly into something brand-new.It's a book about story and a book about telling stories. Prineas 'gets' story and that, in the end, is what made this book such a fun and satisfying read for me. Definitely recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy ValentijnWonderful book!

"Ash Bramble is a delightful deconstruction of societyrsquo;s fairy tale myth, wrapped in an exquisite, spellbinding adventure. A must-read for teens who yearn to forge their very own story." mdash; Rae Carson, author of the bestselling Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogyThe tale of Cinderella has been retold countless times. But what you know is not the true story. Sarah Prineasrsquo;s bold fairy-tale retelling, now available in paperback, is a dark and captivating world where swords are more fitting than slippers, young shoemakers are just as striking as princes, and a heroine is more than ready to rescue herself before the clock strikes midnight.Pin has no recollection of who she is or how she got to the Godmotherrsquo;s fortress. She only knows that she is a Seamstress, working day in and out to make ball gowns fit for fairy tales. But she longs to forsake her backbreaking servitude and dares to escape with the brave young Shoemaker.Pin isnrsquo;t free for long before shersquo;s captured again and forced to live the new life the Godmother chooses for hermdash;a fairy-tale story, complete with a charming princemdash;instead of finding her own happily .As Pin tries to fight her arranged path, she finds that a sword is a much better fit for her than a glass slipper, and that the boy who she escaped with is still searching for her, and wonrsquo;t stop until he rescues hermdash;if Pin doesnrsquo;t rescue herself first.

From School Library JournalGr 8 Upmdash;Pin wakes up knowing nothing about her past. She is told she is a Seamstress, one of many slaves forced to work for the fearsome Godmother. With the help of a mysterious thimble she has somehow saved from Before, headstrong Pin and a frightened but caring Shoemaker escape the prison fortress. But Pin is captured, and her memory is again wiped away by the Godmother. She awakes as an abused stepdaughter who is fated to wear glass slippers and meet a charming prince at a ball. Meanwhile, Shoe is saved by rebels and plots to rescue Pin. When Prince Cor realizes that he has also been used, he joins Pin, Shoe, and the rebels in their efforts to thwart the Godmother's power. But can they ever escape the inevitable ending that Story has planned for them? Narrated in the first person alternately by Pin and Shoe, the book begins with a sense of foreboding and steadily builds suspense as the characters piece together the truth about how the Godmother manipulates people and events. Prineas skillfully brings her characters to life and creates a believable premise for this unconventional "Cinderella" story, even managing to sneak in references to other fairy tales. There is plenty of action mixed with romance, as Shoe and Cor compete for Pin's affections. The wicked Godmother concept works perfectly, and it is a revelation when Pin discovers the reason for the witch's actions in the original stories. VERDICT A first purchase for fans of Marissa Meyer's "Lunar Chronicles" (Feiwel Friends) and Robin McKinley's retold fairy tales.mdash;Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT Ash Bramble is a delightful deconstruction of societyrsquo;s fairy tale myth, wrapped in an exquisite, spellbinding adventure. A must-read for teens who yearn to forge their very own story. (Rae Carson, author of the best- selling Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy)ldquo;A uniquely new fairy tale, full of beauty and danger. Splendid!rdquo; (Tamora Pierce, author of Mastiff)ldquo;Ash Bramble is a book written for anyone who wants to decide for themselves what path their life should take.rdquo; (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review))ldquo;Ash and Bramble is a uniquely written story with a strong and engaging voice. 4 frac12; stars.rdquo; (Romantic Times Book s, Top Pick)ldquo;Prineas handily incorporates numerous twists on fairy-tale conventions in this feminist reimagining of the Cinderella story.rdquo; (Publishers Weekly)ldquo;The romance absolutely aches. A fresh fairy-tale retelling.rdquo; (ALA Booklist)From the Back CoverA prince.A ball.A glass slipper left behind at the stroke of midnight.The tale is told and retold, twisted and tweaked, snipped and stretched, as it leads to happily ever after.But it is not the true Story.A dark fortress.A past forgotten.A life of servitude.No one has ever broken free of the Godmother's terrible stone prison until a girl named Pin attempts a breathless, daring escape. But she discovers that what seems like freedom is a prison of another kind, one that entangles her in a story that leads to a prince, a kiss, and a clock striking midnight. To unravel herself from this new life, Pin must choose between a prince and anothermdash;the one who helped her before and who would give his life for her. Torn, the only thing for her to do is trade in the glass slipper for a sword and find her own destiny.
