I thought this book was fantastic. I didn't realize until near the end of the book that this was a Cinderella type story.
Napoli weaves together the typical traditions of the Chinese during the Ming dynasty but in such a way that the story is not clearly a Cinderella type story which for me would have ruined the plot of the story because I would have been expecting the twist that came within the last 20 pages and would not have received the "benefit" that I did from not expecting the twist.
I really did enjoy this book and would definitely recommend it.
