A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris – Review by Kerry Baker
A Curse of Ash and Iron by Christine Norris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is an historical retelling of Cinderella. It is well written and a pretty interesting story. I enjoyed it more than I expected I would – Cinderella adaptions are, in my opinion, starting to feel overdone. However, the author managed to put enough of her own spin on the story that I found it enjoyable. I would have liked there to be a bigger emphasis on the steampunk element as the look and feel of the book suggested that is what we would get.
The characters were good and I liked their instant connection. It stayed true too the original story while also giving its own feel. I think this book was worth reading and I will be exploring more from the author in the future.
