Its interesting, I like the concept its pretty unique. I do wish they showed 'cinderellas' perspective, she seemed like an important character to the story, but then she's barely mentioned or is shown a handful of times like some side character. Her going from an all human family to a place with multiple races would have been interesting to see how she adjusted.

I don't get the hate for the princess, she isn't a good character by any means, but she is very selfish, and understandably so, she is a child who grew up in luxury being able to control people however she sees fit without consequences. I don't like this kind of cliche, unless it has like character development with her at some point (the most unlikely thing in the world).
The ending was so very nice, but also bittersweet, I can't help but be sad that we never really got a resolution for what happened to Kya's people, just a vague notion that they just got sold off or murdered, and their tragedy was swept entirely under the rug. And that poor tortured woman, gahh this story rips my heart out and stomps on it, while giving a little kiss on the forehead to make up for everything.
