Ash

This started off as a book about fairy tales and elves and was set in an earlier time period with kings, horse drawn carriages, and farming communities.

It skipped around quite a bit, jumping from early years to older, giving a story and then saying "then the year she turned 16" and then "when she turned 18", so it was really hard to get into her character. It was a spinoff of Cinderella, so not super imaginitive.

And to top it all off, the author is a lesbian and during the whole story the main character is having a romance with a handsome male fairy, the last three pages she jumps ship and ends up becoming a lesbian.... What the .... ?!?!
I will be returning this book to Barnes and Noble TODAY. Such a disappointment
