About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron, read by Bahni Turpin.

"Wholly original and captivating." – Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that’s perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert.

It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl’s display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again.

Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all—and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they ever knew . . .

This fresh take on a classic story will make listeners question the tales they’ve been told, and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them.

I love how she changed the voice for the witch and the King. Which gave the book character. I wish in the future they can have multiple people play the main character roles/voices

The Audio made it exciting!!!

This story was stunning. It was so beautiful, creative, and just wonderful. It definitely made my list of top five favorite books of all time (and I’ve read a lot of books). Would recommend anyone read this.
The narrator however, I wasn’t a fan of her voice at all. I had to get use to it and I feel like her voice did not match the main character.

Absolutely beautiful and creative story

just wish the author or Audible allowed for multi-narrators. The voice tones can sometimes sound the same.

I think I only got this because it was part of a deal, but I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad I did. I absolutely loved it. I think I finished it in two sessions. It was such a fresh take, and I didn't see a lot of it coming. Loved it so much.

loved it!

As someone who doesn't like the typical Cinderella story, this rendition did not leave me wanting! The story put a new and much needed twist on the fairy tale, one that highlights a few key criticisms of the Disney-fied version.
Sophia is a very loveable and headstrong narrator that leads the readers through the plot easily; her story is compelling in a way that the typical Cinderella retelling is not. She is a woman that is ready to do what she can for the ending she wants, not the one that has been foretold for her.
I can't wait to see what Kalynn Bayron puts out next, and would love to see her retell other fairy tales!

Great rendition of a usually bland fairy tale
