Two characters we always thought to be cruel to Cinderella, were just narrow-minded.Īll the Ever Afters is fantasy, and it isn’t as light-hearted as you may expect it to be. The same is true for Agnes’s daughters, also known as the ugly stepsisters. Agnes’s life was incredibly hard, but she managed to come out on top thanks to her quick wits. I loved the way the author was able to turn someone who we grew up despising, I found myself sympathetic towards her story. This retelling takes a lot of the magic out of the story, but I still found it enjoyable. From her childhood to motherhood, we see the how good and evil from one story may not be true in another. Here, we are given a new spin on the story of Cinderella and her wicked stepmother. ![]() This book tells the story of Cinderella’s step-mother (Agnes).
