Entwined (Stone and Cinder Book 1) by A.L.Morrow – Review by Kerry Carr

Entwined: A Cinderella Retelling by A.L. Morrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this take on a classic tale. It is beautifully written and changed to make the story more modern. The Cinderella in this tale isn’t rushing to meet the Prince. The Prince is happily married to another man. It is a beautiful mix of a classical fairy tale and a sci-fi twist with the nightmare creatures trying to take over. It is definately a great remake of a classic.

Ashling  has the Cinderella life style. Her parents have passed away and she is left at the mercy of her step mother and step sisters, forced to become a slave in her own home. But that all changes when she spots things changing in their world. Their world which is protected from the outside by a dome. When things start entering her world from the outside she realises she needs to get help and she heads to the Palace.

Prince Callum has met and married the love of his life in Teague. The problem is the safety of his kingdom and the keeping of the protection  of the dome relys on the blood of his heir. So now Callum needs to find someone who he can care for to become the mother of his child and to save the kingdom.

In true Cinderella fashion when the clock strikes midnight things start to change and this leads Prince Callum on a hunt for Ashling.
Will he find her? Will she agree to mother his child? And what of the relationship between Prince Callum and Teague can it survive the addition of another person? And the main thing. Can they stop the nightmare creatures from taking over their peaceful little world?
