The Glass Queen by Gena ShowalterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Princess Ashleigh was born with a weak heart. To save her, Ashleigh’s mother took her to a
witch in a hope that she would grant her some power and heal her. Instead, the witch decides to enter Ashleigh
and bide her time before she can take over her body. This secret is only known by a few, yet an
oracle predicts that Ashleigh will become the next Cinderella and protect the
Kingdom of Sevon from the evil that once ruled.
Ashleigh doesn’t know how she can be the next Cinderella, especially
since she doesn’t have the basic qualities of a gracious princess. It doesn’t help that the man she is supposed
to win over hates her. Will Princess
Ashleigh fulfill this prophecy?
The Glass Queen is the second book in The Forest of Good and
Evil series. Although this book takes
place after the first in the series, readers could easily jump into this story
and enjoy it without the foundation. The
Glass Queen takes a story everyone knows and puts a fun spin on it. Fairy tale re-tellings have always been a
popular choice for me and this one does not disappoint. There is romance and back-stabbing with
twists of magic weaved throughout.
Goodreads currently doesn’t have a third book listed, but I would love
more stories from this twisted parallel world.
