I got bored about halfway through and ended up taking a long break before finishing it. Honestly, that break didn’t really help much because, even when I came back, the story still felt slow and hard to connect with.

The concept had a lot of potential, and there were moments where I thought it might pick up, but it just didn’t hold my attention the way I wanted it to.

I was torn about this storyline because as the child of a parent who passed from the ravages of memory loss, I wasn't quite sold on this "curse." Memory loss isn't something that can be restored by reversing a spell. I also didn't feel as if this was a trope that fell into Prince of Glass & Midnight, rather was best suited for Belle's and Beast's story where the community doesn't remember the Beast and his household staff existed in human form at one time. Now, yes, this is fiction, but I wasn't too connected with this world as it unraveled. However, this book and the characters were very well written. Clearly, the author knows this fairytale and crafted a mysterious/dark/urgent story to save the kingdom from a terrible fate.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

August and Ella have known each other since they were kids, but fell out of touch long ago. August returns to Fresne (Ella's home town and the town he spent much time in as a kid) to investigate a mysterious forgetting curse that has fallen on some of the residents of Fresne. He and Ella become acquainted again and begin their love story all over...until the forgetting curse strikes again.

This was an incredibly interesting take on the Cinderella story. I absolutely loved the plot and all of the characters. It was very well written! This is the third Princes book that Miller has written and I truly believe it is the best so far.

This book is perfect for those who love Disney stories, those who love Cinderella specifically, and for anyone who loves or loves to read about true love!

Thank you NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide | Disney Press for the eARC!

Another great entry in the author's Disney retellings,this book focuses on August, the prince from Cinderella. Set in a village where people are plagued with a curse that steals the memories of a person they love, August is sent by the king to investigate the mystery on behalf of the crown. While there he runs into Ella, a childhood friend who he lost touch with after her father remarried. Miller weaves a wonderful story that builds on the well-known Disney plot and fleshes out the characters, giving a fresh take on them.

Something I love about this book is that while the focus is on August (Prince Charming gets a name, wooo!), Ella is also a fully fleshed out character. This retelling is much improved over the original version. Linsey Miller has a history of writing compulsively readable books, and this was no exception.

This series! Love love love. I hope to get all the princes. BUUUUUUT Prince Charming. I do love him.

This is perfect retelling because it’s classic but it’s different, if that makes sense. If not read this and it will, I promise! Prince August and Ella are adorable. I also love that we get to see more hometown. And some mystery. It’s perfect.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book. These opinions are completely my own.


So far I've enjoyed all the Disney Fiction that has been coming out these last few years, but I was worried about the princes. I should not have been. Prince Charmin or August finally has a personality!

A wonderful book for Disney fans who wonder. "What ifs" and "then what happened?"

Prince of Glass and Midnight by Linsey Miller is a delightful and fresh twist on the classic Cinderella story. With its unique characters and magical world, it offers a charming blend of romance and adventure. Sweet, fun, and enchanting, this retelling will sweep you off your feet and leave you wishing for more!

The beloved story of Cinderella is retold, this time from Prince Charming's perspective.

Brimming with the magic and romance of the film, this enchanting third volume of the Prince Series takes readers on a spellbinding journey that only Disney can conjure from the pages of a book.

Fans of Twisted Tales and the Villains Series will fall head over heels for Prince Charming and his irresistible…charm.

A delightful trip back through childhood to see a different side to the classic Cinderella tale. Often the Princes of these stories are more of a cardboard cutout of a character with little substance, so it is refreshing to see a bit more personality from our Princes in this series.

In Prince of Glass & Midnight we get to see Prince August and delve into his thoughts, I'll admit the twist in this book made me want to go back and rewatch the Disney Cinderella while imagining all of this occurring before it. I was never really a fan of the instant love effect in the Disney movies.

We get to see more of Cinderella's hometown which is suffering from it's own curse, villagers are forgetting their loved ones, things they did with them are now missing them entirely, as though they never existed. Wives forgetting husbands, long time companions forgetting each other, old loves long past, neighbors just starting to love, no one is safe from the curse running rampant. Touching on the pain of grief and asking the question, is it better to have loved and lost, or if to not even remember is better to avoid all the pain.

The story is a bit quick with the mystery, and it telegraphs things a bit, with the only question being who will be next, and when will August and Ella fall victim themselves setting up the classic plot we all know which it speeds through in a single chapter. I do wish the ending had a bit more meat to it, being a rapid explanation of just what happened, and the town's perspective on the curse is not touched upon at all once lifted.

All in all, a fun quick read, with a different POV to the classic tale, well worth a read, but not necessarily memorable.

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC of this title in exchange for a review.

This one was difficult for me because it has a major trope I highly dislike. Memory loss.

That being said, I did still enjoy it. The classic characters we know and love get a bit more to their story in Prince of Glass and Midnight.

August, the crown prince- moonlights as a detective of sorts for the kingdom to put his education to use and keep him away from his family who is wanting him to settle down and marry. There are people in their kingdom suddenly missing memories. But not just any memories- they're always just missing a person. A man will wake up one day and not remember his wife, etc.

The prince sets out to find the cause and help his people. His work leads him to the home of Lady Tremaine and childhood friend, Ella. As the story progresses, and the prince gets closer to the culprit, Ella suddenly forgets him. The prince is called home around the same time and the ball is held in his honor to find a wife. The story continues much like it does in the movie we know but ends in a much different way. I don't want to spoil it in this review, but I did really enjoy it.

This was fun! I loved the mystery pieces of it, and really thought the creativity of the book was great.

Thank you to NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide for the e-ARC!

I really liked this book. I thought the mystery of why everybody was losing their memories was interesting and came to a good conclusion at the end. I’ll admit I wish the ball part of the story that makes Cinderella so famous had take up more of the story, it felt like there was a lot of build up to get there and I wish we had been there for longer. Overall, still a great read and lots of fun.

I'm going to be honest, I didn't think it was possible to take what I thought was the most boring Disney prince and make him likeable but this author has done it! This was a very good one. I loved the epistolary beginning.
