What happened to Cinderella after she married the prince? Did she truly live "happily ever after"?



This is the first book in the Cinderella's Secret Witch Diaries series. Lost will captivate readers who love fiction filled with fantasy and magic. The Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries series is a perfect match for fans who have read Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy.

Everyone knows the fairy tale of Cinderella and the glass slipper, but in this Cinderella retelling, what happened to her after she married the Prince?

Set in the late 1700s as Napoleon is rising to power, Cinderella embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to come to terms with her new life. Her journey leads her to find her long lost Fairy Godmother and aids her to solve the mystery behind her mother's death. Yet the Fey Lord, the Silver Fox, and the witch Renée also take notice in her and suddenly her world is turned upside down.

Find out if Cinderella does find her happily ever after in Lost, the dark and intriguing first book in the Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries series!

Interview with the author from Digital Book Today:

Ron Vitale turns the fairy tale on its head with a dark and twisted look into the private life of Cinderella and her struggle to find happily ever after in a world of magic and politics. Drawing rave reviews for its creepy and original imagining of the Cinderella fairy tale, Lost: Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries, and its sequels, Stolen and Found, are available in print and ebook through Amazon.

Question: What inspired you to write Lost: Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries?

Answer: My young daughter. Four years ago, my daughter was nearly three years old, and she was infatuated with Princesses and anything pink. While reading to her one night, a question popped into my head: What happens after the happily ever after? I started to think about that and then realized that I had an idea I could sink my teeth into. After Cinderella marries the Prince, the story ends, but I wanted to go beyond that and show Cinderella’s struggle after she was married. I just used my imagination and let it run wild, and my readers have connected with what I’ve come up with in my series.

Question: What’s your book about?

Answer: The book is about Cinderella’s coming to terms with her identity. All her life she’s been forced to do what she’s been told, and it’s taken a toll on her. Now she’s at a point in her young life in which she has to decide where she wants to go in life and who to be. If I could boil my book down to one phrase, it’s simply that women do not have to wait to be rescued by men. Women can rescue themselves. There’s no need to wait for a man to save them.

Question: Tell us a little about your main character.

Answer: Cinderella is young and still innocent. She’s married to the Prince but is still trying to find her voice and identity. Now a member of the royal court of England in the late 1700s, Cinderella has tremendous pressure on her to perform and carry the heir to the throne. She’s timid, unsure of herself, and searching for a friend to help her find her way.

All along, Cinderella looks to others to save her, but slowly she realizes that her Fairy Godmother cannot always be at her side. She needs to find other sources of support to help her deal with tremendous challenges before she loses her way. She desperately searches to find the magic that once saved her from her stepmother and hopes that she can once again be saved. But in her innocence, she stumbles upon a secret that turns her life upside down and causes her to question all that she knows.

Lost is about what happens to Cinderella after she gets her happily ever after although in this story it doesn’t go as a happy after the wedding as Cinderella had hoped.

The story is set 10 years after the wedding, Cinderella isn’t happy with the prince due to his many mistresses. It is written between letters to her fairy godmother and things happening in Cinderella’s life like her wanting to go to Paris but the only way she can go is if she goes to see a woman to help her get pregnant. The queen thinks that if she got pregnant then the marriage would get back on track.

Cinderella tells her fairy godmother about being scared and about the prince being uninterested in her and the queens plans for her while she is in Paris but the fairy godmother tells her to be patient and that she is coming to save her but she ends up falling in love with someone while she’s waiting in Paris.

When Cinderella goes to see the witch she tells Cinderella that she can help her to escape her miserable life and Cinderella agrees to do anything so she can escape.

I loved the twists and turns and I can’t wait to get round to reading book two as I am dying to know what happens to Cinderella next.

Let me start off by saying "I love, love LOVE fairy tales". I love how they have made a resurgence lately and been re-tooled with stronger female characters that don't lose their femininity and still manages to stay away from being "Chicks in Chainmail".

Don't get me wrong. I definitely enjoyed Chicks in Chainmail back in the day and am giddy that I found them on kindle, but when it comes to fairy tales, I want my princesses/heroines/main female characters with a little softness to them.

One thing I always wondered about fairy tales is "what exactly is happily ever after?". You don't really ever see that addressed. And if no one ever goes into detail about it, then how do you know it is even happy or ever after.

Enter Ron Vitale and his Cinderella's Secret Diary series. In this book, you learn (through Cinderella's private journal) what exactly "happily ever after" looks like. Turns out that its not so happy after all. What I love about how Vitale approached this is that the characters are indeed human. They aren't perfect and have a bit of tarnish on them (sometimes though a bit too much).

In this tale, Cinderella pours her heart out to her much missed fairy godmother through her journal practically begging for another miracle. This added a level of realism to the story because we humans are greedy creatures. I know that many people would say "Oh she already got one miracle. She should be happy with that." But the truth is that we are never truly happy. We always want more. Especially when things don't turn out quite as we think they should as they obviously have for this Cinderella.

The reader is given the very real character of a woman who was never prepared for life outside of her family much less the responsibilities that come with being royalty. She soon finds out that there is more to being a princess/future queen than balls and parties. Her plight is very reminiscent to that of Anne Boleyn (though with none of the rumor or slander), perhaps the most famous woman to fall in hot water for not being able to bear a (male) child.

As I was reading this, I was making notes (as I always do) of possible continuity errors/problems. I am happy to say that Vitale definitely ties it all together in the end. It is a quick read at 187 or so pages and I found it a great literary pallet cleanser. It was something light, sweet, quick, and clean. It gave my brain a much need rest and boost before delving into deeper selections.

I am unsure how much I like this book. Ron Vitale is normally a writer whom I enjoy very much. However, this tale lacked the kick for me that normally comes with his books. I do not think I am prepared to pay £3.99 for the follow on book. I would have thought that £2.00 would suffice. However, that is only my opinion, others may well enjoy this series.

3,0 su 5 stelle A not-entirely-successful attempt to rehabilitate Cinderella's message
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 16 agosto 2016

One of the most common complaints about the Cinderella story is that it sends the wrong message to young girls; that some prince will be able to rescue them from whatever problems they are having and allow them to live happily ever after. I am not convinced that this is exactly the intent of the very early Cinderella stories, but it seems to be the message that a lot of people take from the story now.

This premise seems to be one of the reasons for the plethora of alternative versions of the Cinderella story that have appeared in recent years. Ron Vitale attempts to rehabilitate the fairy tale’s message in the Cinderella’s Secret Witch Diaries series.

At the beginning of this story, Cinderella and the Prince have been married four years, and it’s not going well. The main problem for the Prince is that he now finds Cinderella boring and has moved on to finding amusement elsewhere. Cinderella finds some consolation in writing in a diary. She addresses her complaints to the Fairy Godmother, whom she hasn’t heard from in some time. Then one day the Fairy Godmother writes back. In the same diary. She urges Cinderella to free her mind if she wants to be happy.

Cinderella’s first impulse in the direction of freeing her mind is to wish to travel. She wants to go to France.

But it turns out that nobody is quite who they seem to be. While she is in France, Cinderella meets a former nobleman turned musician with whom she has an affair – but it turns out he does not love her as much as she had assumed. Her best friend and lady-in-waiting is also in love with the musician. The Fairy Godmother is really the King of the Fae, and he does not have Cinderella’s best interests at heart. And the Witch she is supposed to see at the behest of the Queen, and who the Fairy Godmother had warned her against, turns out to be the only one who unfailingly supports her.

There is a long, drawn-out battle between Cinderella and the King of the Fae, and it doesn’t look good for Cinderella during most of it, despite the fact that Cinderella discovers that she has magic of her own.

In the end, Cinderella does learn a few useful lessons, which she writes down for the benefit of her unborn daughter. On the whole, however, I was a bit disappointed in the story. What I most didn’t like was Cinderella’s involvement with Henri while she was still a married woman, especially after Clarissa, the lady-in-waiting indicated she was in love with him too. This was just made worse when she attempted to roast him with her newfound magical powers when he rejected her after she told him about the child. Certainly, in this story, Cinderella is much more of a modern woman than we are used to. But I thought it caused her to lose the power of goodness and caring that was her main strength in the old story.

This is the first part of a three-part story, however, so maybe it gets better as it goes along.
