5 stars
Queeres Aschenputtel! Wunderschöne mit Feensagen verwobene Geschichte, eine bisexuelle Hauptfigur, Hexen und ach <3 Alles halt, was eine perfekte Geschichte braucht.
Ash is a young adult fantasy lesbian novel by Malinda Lo first published in 2009. It is a reworking of the Cinderella fairy tale that reimagines the title character, Ash, as a lesbian teenager. The novel centers around the familiar story of Cinderella, her father recently remarried, and lamenting the misery of her new life with stepsisters and a stepmother. The twist arrives when Ash falls in love with the King's respected huntress Kaisa, after she has made a commitment to dark fairy prince Sidhean.

Not impressed with this book, one of those books based on a fairy-tale, Cinderella in this instance. The story was boring and I didn't like any of the characters. This book has fairies in it and normally these are quite dark characters but in this story they felt very flat and showed no emotions.
