Karen's Reviews > Anastasia

This is a novella loosely based on Cinderella. There are things that are mentioned but never followed up on, like why does Elle lay in the fireplace when Anastasia and her family first meet her? The magic system, the rats, the moving streets are all mentioned but not really pivotal to any of the events. I would have liked to see all of those play more of a role in the story. The girls, Elle and Anastasia, get by on their wits more than anything else. The budding attraction is cute. Nevertheless, despite its flaws, I enjoyed reading the story; I wanted to see how it would all end.
