Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

A thrilling and original twist on the Cinderella story breaking stereotypes of race, gender and sexuality to create a brand-new YA fairytale and a heroine for our times

Kalynn Bayron does more than re-write a fairytale.. She breaks it apart and rebuilds it into a wholly original and captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who lives happily ever after * New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer *
A richly diverse and lovely read ... relevant, modern and inclusive * NetGalley Reviewer *
This was gay, romantic and perfectly set, with a mixture of traditional fairy tale elements that were flipped on their head and new elements that made it seem less susceptible to tropes and problems. It was a really enjoyable read and really put an exciting, original spin on the Cinderella tale * NetGalley Reviewer *
Did somebody say feminist? As someone who was raised on fairy tales and Disney, practically conditioned to believe the woman was supposed to be rescued by the man, I ADORED this book. I was captivated from the start and the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ themes warmed my heart. I can't wait to see what Bayron does next * NetGalley Reviewer *
Cinderella Is Dead is an incredible feminist retelling of the classic tale I never knew I needed in my life, but I’m so glad it exists * NetGalley Reviewer *
Full of power, humour, strength and love, "Cinderella Is Dead" shows itself to be one of the most engaging novels I've encountered this year. With a powerful story that is about doing what is right and a host of characters you come to care for deeply, I can find so few faults with this. It will be one I recommend to everyone over the next few months * NetGalley Reviewer *
Bayron masterfully brings the reader into the action and the emotions of the characters. It is an intense experience, but a captivating one * Paper Lanterns Magazine *
