First, there is a legend of the trees that figures prominently in the story, which basically suggests that each person has a tree to which he or she is tied so that the health of one effects the others. It becomes problematic mainly when the reader realizes that two of the major plot points are a little unclear. Generally, Lemon’s asking of the audience to simply accept her world as it stands works well enough. But it requires some suspension of disbelief. A mother who sits in a corner all day doing nothing but spinning just because her husband disappeared? Interesting. Not everything that happens even makes sense. Far from being a fleshed-out novel with psychologically complex characters, Cinder and Ella is something readers must simply accept.
Review: Here is a retelling that comes close to the spirit of an original fairytale. It is then up to her to unravel the mystery of what the corrupt prince wanted with her father and now with her. Eventually, Cinder seeks work and better pay at the kingdom castle-but then Ella is brought there by force.
Soon after, their father disappeared, and Cinder and Ella were left to care for a family who quickly became bitter and self-absorbed. Summary: Cinder and Ella lived happily with their parents and two sisters until the prince came.
