It looks like a spin on Red Riding Hood, but it becomes so much more.  Highly recommend.

Whitens writing is gorgeous, however was a bit slow for me and I wasn’t particularly captivated by the plot, (just not for me!)

Fun ideas, not very well written. Fight scenes seem to jump around too much and description seems to be missing which almost made me feel dizzy and lost while reading. On the other hand, character traits are definitely told (multiple times) and not shown, and the world is not developed enough to be convincing or intriguing , leading to a  boring and confusing read overall.

Not sure this one quite lived up to the hype, but it was a solid 4 star Red Riding Hood meets Beauty and the Beast fantasy adventure. I definitely liked Whitten’s other book, The Foxglove King, better.
