This book is basically The Selection sprinkled with magic. It’s an easy story to read, but everything that happens is very predictable and standard. Avery and Kieran are magical copies of America and Maxon, with the country and royals having a rebel/curse-like issue.
The writing is not fantastic. It is sometimes very difficult to determine who says what purely because the entire page is conversation, without any additional part of the story (I.e. …. says).
I will probably read the next book purely because it is Selection-like and can be read quickly, but not because the book is spectacular.

beginning was similar to another book I’ve read but so glad I stuck it out because W O W. The twists just kept coming and I didn’t see them.

Selection series with a twist
I loved this book! Finished it in one day, that's how addictive it was.
There are some scenes that I felt were unnecessary and others that was rushed but nonetheless it was really entertaining and fun to read. And even tho it was similar to The Selection series, I felt that the pacing was fast enough that I didnt get bored and the plot was unique by including the fae and the fairytale curse.

This one started off feeling like The Selection but new adult + fae. Pretty light, fluffy and while predictable, still entertaining, but I didn't expect the twists towards the end that added more of that romantasy feel to the series and helped expand the scope of the world. I had wished we'd gotten a little more drama from the games themselves or gotten to see more of that part of the story, but I will say the romance speed and spice was just about perfect to me. It was more of a slow burn and not just spice everywhere or too soon. It definitely left me curious as to where the story will go next!
very cute!!! not suitable to read at an airport but i did it nonetheless. if you need an easy read, cliche action fantasy romance it is for you. the heroine is a bit stupid at times but it is actually charming and not annoying because it is consistent! side characters couldve had more screen time but it is a good book! we ♡ keiran. and i cannot wait to see if the future books involve winter (i have not checked if there is a sequel yet, literally just finished reading)
