I loved this book! It was a lot of fun and the romantic tension was perfect. My only gripes were that the writing was a little lacking and

I felt that the ending was very abrupt. How was Kaye not having more of an existential crisis after being turned?

I think the lack of romance was a bit disappointing, I was expecting less crushing and maybe more talking about getting tighter and being together, it almost felt like the author abandoned the idea after one kiss, although I will say that before it was very nice and like the slow burn was just how I want it too be. The ending felt a bit cut of and I would maybe have wanted an epilogue I think the story would have befitted from it. I did like the references to rapunzel but I wish they would have made it closer to the story it didn’t feel like a retelling at all which it was advertised to me but I did enjoy the writing and feel I could read other works by francesca flores.

Repetition of themes and plot points, and hammering home said themes and plot points are the book’s weakness, but the central characters, romance, and immense folklore and imagination make up for the novel’s shortcomings.
