Cinderella is dead but her legacy lives on. Sophia hates this legacy and wants nothing more than to be with Erin, not a man who chooses her at the annual ball. Sophia wants to be free from the decrees that rule her and every one of the kingdom's women's lives.

Cinderella is Dead transports you to a world ruled by sexist laws where women are seen as little more than servants to the men they "belong" to. Sound familiar? It's not too far off from our own past and that is what struck me most. While obviously there are greater extremes and a lot of fantastical elements to this story, it still hold lots of real life truth and value.

In this sapphic spin on the classic tale of Cinderella, Sophia is a strong female protagonist that we can root for. Even when she finds her own female knight in shining armor, Sophia is still holding her own.  I also appreciate the twists that Bayron added to the classic tale and the representation she added as well. We should all be able to see ourselves in stories across genres and it's nice to see that done here.

I did find the story to be a bit predictable and the villain to be a bit cheesy. I predicted most of the plot twists, which did take some of the enjoyableness out of the story for me. That being said, it was easy to read and fast-paced, which I enjoyed. Overall, I wouldn't say it's a stand out for me but I would recommend it to others.
