I'm with you on everything you said, apart from Queen Camilla - I had a chuckle when I first encountered her, as I thought it was quite funny, even though I don't like the Duchess of Cornwall. I'm sure it was meant more tongue-in-cheek than anything ^_^Goth Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04817641889221748487[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088300628482028524.post-76195951526524374612012-11-24T23:28:07.136Z2012-11-24T23:28:07.136Zhey Dani (agatha90xo from twitter here ;)).

I like the cinderella's fairy tale (must of the times, I'm not a big fan of love at first sight) and this seems an interesting take of it. <br />I'm a little worry about the predictable twists, i don't like when i know where the story is headed (that is why i don't watch soap operas, and becausa my mother and sister said i ruined the story line for them,not my fault that all of them seem like the same one althought i just keep it to myself :S), yet i still read i few pages ahead so i know what happen. I'm an strange reader!! ja ja (that is "ha ha" in spanish)<br />I can wait to read it, but i must eait since its not out in my country yet, but it's in Spain so i don't think that i wait that long :)<br />Good review.
