Bloomsbury presents Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron, read by Bahni Turpin.

"Wholly original and captivating." - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that’s perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert.

It’s been 200 years since Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over.

In the kingdom of Lille, young women have two options: arrive at the ball to be selected as a wife, or forfeit their lives.

Sophia’s options are even more limited, especially when she’d rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. Tonight, she’ll make a desperate decision to flee once and for all. She never expected that running for her life would open a new door with a girl named Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her stepsisters.

Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all--and light a spark that could change the world as they know it.

What the critics say

Kalynn Bayron does more than re-write a fairy-tale . . . She breaks it apart and rebuilds it into a wholly original and captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who lives happily ever after.
Flipping the Cinderella tale on its head, Bayron’s take challenges patriarchy with kick-butt heroines and a counter-story that will forever change how readers perceive fairy tales.
Readers looking for dystopia, queer romance, LGBTQ inclusiveness, and women sticking it to the patriarchy will be pleased.
A queer dystopian fantasy that questions written history and societal expectations.
Bayron’s deconstructive reimagining of the classic fairy tale is ambitious, replacing the happily-ever-after with a tragic legacy and a defiant, feminist tone.
[A] promising debut . . . twists and turns will keep readers in suspense.

AMAZING I was drawn in since the beginning and to the end! However I didn’t really expect it to be that horrific and I am an adult. I would advise parents to read it with their children.

Amazing however not for the faint hearted

Poor execution. Bad pacing and the narrator ruined it for me. All the characters sounded the same to me.

Good Concept
