Description
Discover a new middle-grade fantasy saga from Melissa de la Cruz, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Descendants series, with Never After: The Stolen Slippers, where real life and fairy tales collide!Tossed back into the not-so-familiar fairy-tale world of Never After, Filomena Jefferson-Cho and her friends set off on another adventure . . . this time in search of Cinderella's glass slipper. Or rather, glass slippers.
It turns out the classic story of Cinderella is full of show more lies—starting with how Cinderella herself is far from the innocent heroine everyone thinks she is. She is manipulative and cunning—willing to do anything to be the princess of Eastphalia. The real heroines of her story are her "wicked" stepsisters, Hortense and Beatrice, who aren't actually wicked at all!
With the help of the dashing Jack Stalker, adorable Alastair, and glamorous Gretel, Filomena must track down the slippers, which may be the key to a certain mysterious prophecy . . . And when Filomena and Beatrice get tossed into the Beast's dungeon, all hope seems to be lost. Will the conniving Cinderella shatter everyone's hopes for a true un-twisted ending? Or will Filomena and her friends secure the happily ever after Cinderella's stepsisters deserve?

I did not read The Thirteenth Fairy prior to listening to this audiobook and I am now going to have to rectify that! Melissa does a fantastic job of taking these tried and true fairy tales and making them her own. I like that there is a mix of real life within the fairy tales.
I thought that Imani Jade Powers did a fantastic job with the narration. It was easy to tell which character was speaking, there was a great pace to the book, and when I increased the speed to 1.75 I was still able to understand everything the characters were saying.
Can't wait to read (or listen to) Rise of the Seven when it come out.
