I got this book from an article with a list of female "sci fi" authors so I was slightly surprised to find a young adult fantasy queer Cinderella story. Though not unpleasantly surprised. I should note that I know very little about these kinds of books and what makes them good or bad.

I really liked Lo's style of writing and the feel and pace of the book but it felt disjointed near the end The book goes from a slow surreal experience to a very rushed climax where a bunch of important things happen all at once. I wish it was more even.

But, I am intrigued and will likely read other books of hers.
