魔法灰姑娘

Ella's story is both funny and heartfelt, but I wonder how much of that tone was planned from the start versus evolved during writing. Did the humor help make serious themes more accessible for middle-grade readers?

Ella's refusal to accept her cursed obedience was empowering, but I’m curious if readers felt motivated to challenge their own limitations or unfair rules after reading this.

The story's blend of classic fairy tale elements with a fresh twist on curses feels very intentional. I wonder what the author’s creative process was in crafting this particular magic system and setting.
