I was working on a book cover commission and looking for some easy, light hearted audiobook to keep me company - since this book‘s been on my tbr for a while I just went with it. I‘ve always loved Cinderella (can‘t lie, I‘m still waiting for my fairy tale prince … or hogwarts letter … or some kind of fantasy adventure) and this geeky retelling just stole my heart. It‘s light hearted, full of fandom stuff like conventions, cosplay, fanfictions, blogging, the joined force of fans and their love for fictional characters … and of course, the cinderella story line. In short: it‘s everything I love. To add to that, I absolutely loved Sage as bad ass, sewing-talent fairy godmother and pls, the magic pumpkin???
Super süß und sehr niedlich! Ich fand es so gut umgesetzt, Cinderella in der Fandom-Welt. Einfach wunderbar!
Dieses Buch war Teil einer Challenge. Da ich aber die Gruppe, die die Challenge veranstaltet, verlassen habe, kann ich das Buch ruhigen Gewissens abbrechen. Vielleicht hätte mir die Geschichte gefallen, wäre ich 14 gewesen. Aber jetzt, an die 20 Jahre später, finde ich die Figuren und die Handlung... nun ja, als hätte ich mit 14 eine Fanfiction geschrieben. Gut für die Zielgruppe, die sich in entsprechenden Träumen verlieren kann, absolut langweilig für mich. Ich weiss, es gibt viele, die das Buch lieben und das freut mich für all jene. Für mich persönlich ist es jedoch absolut nichts und ich bin überglücklich, nicht noch 200+ Seiten darin lesen zu müssen.
3.5/5 stars! Didn't really like it as much I had anticipated it. It was cute, simple and easy.. definitely a read when you are low and you don't want to go for anything heavy. RTC.
Fandom and how it influences and saves peoples lifes with complex relationships and some cheese moments. Highly recommend it!
Before I started reading this, I had been craving some cute, romantic, cheesy love story and I had hoped Geekerella would be exactly that. For the first half of the book, though, I felt a bit let down. I really enjoyed Elle's pov, but I felt like Darien's perspective was a bit unnecessary - maybe because in the actual tale, we don't get to see the prince's perspective. Later on, it became clear that it is indeed necessary for the reader to experience his perspective as well, but I think I would have preferred if his pov had started a bit later in the book. Things really started to pick up pace for me around halfway through the book, when Elle and Darien finally meat each other for the first time in real life. Finally, I understood how perfect the chemistry between the two is and how they are clearly meant to be with each other. Before that, I didn't really care that much, but from that point on, I was all on board. And it continuously got better. The angst, the stakes, the 'hate'-to-love-part, everything... I started to love the book. I'm glad I can say that this was the first romance book in ages that actually made me swoon and genuinely root for the main couple. So if you're thinking about DNFing the book after the first 100 pages or so... keep going, it'll be worth it. Liked this one a lot!
I didn't expect to love this book so much when I started reading it, but gosh, it was just so cute and I loved all about it, especially the presence of so many different fandoms in it! Also, having a major fangirl as the main character was such a great perspective to read from. I reallyreally loved it, so no doubt, for me this is a 5🌟 read.
Schade, schade. Ich liebe Neuinterpretationen von bekannten Werken und hatte mich nach der Cindertrilohie sehr über ein neues "Cinderellabuch" gefreut, aber dieses ist eigentlich nur Kitsch für Teens. Keine neue Idee, nur anderes Setting. Nichts für mich.
Super süß und sehr niedlich! Ich fand es so gut umgesetzt, Cinderella in der Fandom-Welt. Einfach wunderbar!
It's not only a sweet re-telling of Cinderella (down to the pumpkin), but moreover it's a love-letter to Geeks.
