AHA! And now the Cinderella story actually makes sense, plotwise!
(OF COURSE her stepmother made her work because she was a brat. You are a genius. And the blacksmith sounds sexy.)

Please update. This is some good stuff.

Interesting. :-)

Intersting. It's a really good idea. Update soon! :D

Are you going to continue with this?

I really liked it; update son!

^-^ Please?

that's so weird. my main character is named eirian too!! well, sort of...you'd have to read it.

but anyway, this is looking really promising! your characters, while they do seem a bit bratty (not nearly as bad as you make them out to be, however), are believable. as long as you don't go too far with it, and as long as they "grow up" throughout the story, you should be fine.

i like that this is an entirely different take on cinderella (well, not entirely different- margaret peterson haddix's just ella was somewhat similar, in that ella had a love interest besides her husband. but other than that it's nothing like that (so far)). it is interesting to have her married so long, and still partially in love with an old flame. this begs the question: why are they visiting her old town? is it a whim of hers, or are they on some sort of royal progress around the country? i am interested to see more of eirian's relationship with aiden and with ivan.

definitely continue this!
