A Mexican fairy tale in which Casiopea plays a wary, cynical Cinderella. Doomed to serve her casually cruel rich relations, Casiopea accidentally frees the Mayan God of Death, and he enlists (demands, really) her help in defeating the brother who wronged him. Their journey through Mexico and deep into the land of the underworld, as seen through Casiopea’s suspicious naivete, is delightful; the character of the God of Death gets surprising depth as well.
