I enjoyed the set up to this series but this could’ve been a standalone as the entire story is neatly wrapped up by the end. I’m interested to see how the supporting characters are developed as this series progresses. The world-building is great and the allusions to Beauty and the Beast aren’t incredibly overt.

Unintentionally funny because of bad writing. Predictable and cliché. Considered DNF’ing multiple times, powered through out of curiosity - was disappointed. Will not read again.
