*ETA After sitting with my thoughts and then eventually reading the first 3 books in the series, I have changed my rating from 4 stars to 3. 

A wonderful book that got me out of a reading slump. You could easily see it’s influence from Beauty and the Beast, which made for an interesting slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the characters, and the storytelling was vivid, pulling you right into that world. 

In saying that, this book does have its flaws including slow pacing, a few predictable plot points, and some cringy dialogue. 

Overall, it was a compelling read that I couldn’t put down. I look forward to picking up the sequel.

The first half of the book really just read as a retelling of Beauty and the Beast but the book started to pick up once

they were sent to the mountain and the trials ensued

. The book is romance fantasy but it's not overly sexual like if you are looking for 50 shades this book is not that. This I actually appreciate because I think the romance got to develop better without such graphic scenes all the time.

the ending wraps the story up quite nicely to the point that Im not rushing to the next book in the series

. Overall it's a good book and I look forward to listening to the next one.(However I should note I did NOT like the audio voice at first she literally sounded like a robot but I got used to it eventually).

I had heard about the book on TT as being a fairy smut novel, but this turned out to be a great disappointment. Not only for the laxk of smut, but it was an almost copy of The beauty and the beast (but fairy edition). I’m not a huge fan of fairies so if you don’t come into it with an adoration already, save some time and pick up another book
