The Glass Slip-Up

This story is a very interesting take on Cinderella. You can tell that this story is written a later, and not a tale told from generation to generation. It really doesn’t have that old feel to it. It’s more modern.
It’s written from the prince’s point of view, after they got married and he actually got to know Cinderella. It’s a very interesting take on the story because the prince doesn’t really converse with Cinderella all to much before they get married. So he didn’t get to know her, he just knew she’s pretty.
Even as the reader you only get Cinderella’s viewpoint of things, you don’t really know why her stepmother locked her up. The author did a good job with noticing that.
I started relating this story to the Shrek movies, since both do have much in common, they’re more realistic then the original story’s, like the fairy godmother in both of them are very sneaky, selfish individuals and the princesses that are beautiful are stupid.
The Glass-slip up was enjoyable, I liked the take on the tale and the unexpected ending. It amused me.
