Danger, romance, courage, and family. This fantasy makes you think of Beauty and the Beast and more.

I really enjoyed this book and am glad that it is a series. I never read fantasies that much but this book has made me want to dive into more fantasy series. There isn't much about this book that I didn't like, as the descriptions of characters, places, and feelings were so beautifully written you could see it all play out in your head as you read.

I loved this book! It has everything, faeries, romance, jealousy, political intrigue, and transformation. Minds change, laws are broken...I can't wait to dive in to the second one!

The action was engaging and well written but the characters and storytelling were unlikeable.

The way the book draws you in and after about 50 pages it starts to get really good and you can feel hundreds of different emotions at once. It has a good mix of romance, spice, betrayal, plot-twist and all round a mix of so many different genres.
