I don't usually write reviews but this was absolutely amazing. I don't want to spoil anything but it's NOT a retelling, this is before the main story. The telling of her step-sisters and how they came to be so cruel. How it shows how manipulative and abusive a mother can be without even putting a finger on them and how that will effect them for the rest of their lives. I won't say more, but I continue to see how great Disney books are.
