My favorite Maguire book (the third I've read) More like historical fiction than fantasy and it ties in very nicely with the Cinderella story we all know. I think some people are put off by some of the dialogue, and while it does make the reading tedious, the plot is strong enough that I definitely wanted to keep reading.
As a side note, the mean stepmother plays a big role in this book. It would be interesting to read the same tale, but instead seen through her eyes and titled "How it really happened, the wicked stepmother's perspective."
