Ep. 90: Disenchanted: The Trials of Cinderella by Megan Morrison

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

"His father wanted him to choose Lavaliere for Prince’s Preference, but he had to talk to Ella."
Drew and Cassie are so excited to talk about Megan Morrison's Tyme series but also sad that this is the final Morrison book that has been published! For our second week in Cinderella Month, we are discussing Morrison's Disenchanted: The Trials of Cinderella. This novel is told from three points of view: Ella Coach, a young woman whose mother died in a sweat shop and wants every laborer in the Blue Kingdom to receive fairer treatment; Prince Dash Charming, a young man whose familial curse has recently been broken, and who wants to be a better person than his father and grandfather before him; and Serge, a fairy godfather who is losing his magic, and who finds himself in a position to help one Ella Coach. We discuss the creative world of Tyme, the incredibly themed characters names, Serge/Jasper, fantasy slang, the way the Cinderella elements are rearranged, awesome mom Queen Maud, and we say "these books are so good" about ten times!
