‘Owl Eyes: A Fairy Tale’ by Molly Lazer

4.5 stars

'Owl Eyes' is a well thought out re-imagining of Cinderella in which readers spend most of the book learning about our main character, Nora, and the warm, loving people who help her serve the Lord of the house.  This is an original tale about a young woman and how she came to be a servant living in a Lord's kitchen house.  Though she contributes heavily to food preparation, Nora is prohibited from serving the family in person and is punished when she dares to inquire about her dead parents. 

As she makes several discoveries about her birth parents and the family she serves, readers learn more about the way magic works in Lazer’s fictional fantasy world.  Ultimately, Nora participates in elements of the traditional Cinderella tale, and faces a new and original dilemma; whether following in her mother’s footsteps is worth losing her loving kitchen house family and a chance for real romance.

I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.  All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s.

'Owl Eyes' will be available on March 20, 2018.  #OwlEyes:afairyTale #NetGalley
