Narrated by: Alexander Keys

Production by: Allison Tebo

A Fresh and Enjoyable Listen of Cinderella!

Not all fairy godparents are female or happy or old or good-natured. Burndee is none of those! Burndee is the complete opposite and is only happy when he can bake cakes. Burndee is a Fairy Godfather only to a cinder girl and a charming prince. So he masterfully devises a plan to rid himself of them and move forward with baking! Too bad no one told his two charges!

Allison Tebo, the author, offers a refreshing perspective on the story of Cinderella and Prince Charming. Crafted in a steampunk, rom-com narrative, it is a delightful, captivating, and highly enjoyable experience! Tebo leads the listener to easily fall into the conventional storyline only to jolt them back to this new version. The character development is concise and complete. The dialogue is detailed and authentic, matching the personalities of each character vividly. The plot twists are engaging and delightful.

The narrator, Alexander Keyes, is perfect for this story! His cadence and pauses are deliberate and well done. He slips into each character and brings the story to life. His portrayal of the godfather is wonderful as he truly captures his essence beautifully and completely. He kept the story moving forward with his energy and delivery.

While Tebo delivered a fresh take on the Cinderella story, Keyes brought it to life. This is an audiobook I will continue to enjoy time and again!
