Critics Review
Gorgeous, whimsical, romantic and bittersweet, Cinder House both whisks you away and holds you over a flame. I was bespelled – Ava Reid, Sunday Times bestselling author of Lady Macbeth
Absolutely delightful. One of the most unusual fairy-tale retellings I’ve seen in a hen’s age. I enjoyed it enormously! – T. Kingfisher, bestselling author of A Sorceress Comes to Call
Compelling characters, a spellbinding haunting and a powerful yearning that transcends death; Cinder House burns for you – Lex Croucher, author of Gwen & Art Are Not in Love
One of the best retellings I’ve read! With immersive prose, memorable characters and a glittering world, Marske has breathed new and fiercely feminist life into the classic Cinderella story. Ella is a heroine who will haunt you forever – Heather Walter, author of The Crimson Crown
Full of quiet longing and soft magic … Not unlike a bewitched pair of shoes that fit just right. Tender and heartfelt, it’s an ideal match not just for lovers of fairy-tale retellings but for anyone in the mood for an elegantly written, unconventional love story * Locus *
