A beauty and the beast retelling but with 4 princes, one for each season. Steamy slow burn. Kel sends Rosalina back to the human world.

Really missed a good fairy fiction and this was really niiiiice. It reminded me of all the books I used to read and love when I was a teen, but with much more spice

Nothing really happens in this book and there's minimal spice but was interesting story and I want to read the second book asap.

I ate this up in one day! Beauty and the Beast but we have 4 cursed princes of the 4 Seasonal Courts and one dark prince of the Below as the villain. Mystery, loooads of questions so it worth making notes of the smallest details. It has a charming atmosphere, no lasting effect tho, but best part of this book is that you get to read the next one what is just epic.

I think I just don’t like heavy retellings. I already know exactly what will happen next

Tiktok baited me into picking up this book. Idk how many times more will I make this mistake and expect different results.
The FMC is a doormat with no self-worth and self-preservation, at 28(!) years of age. The Gaston stand-in literally carved his name on her arm, with a knife, and left her for greener pastures, and yet she was poised and ready to marry the guy after randomly bumping into him in the woods, because he decided so. If she was meant to appear psychologically abused and dependant on him, it didn't come out as such, instead all it gave me was no thoughts head empty.
She didn't stand up to a single, abusive human (which was basically every human she interacted with up until that point) before arriving in the fairyland and then she received a personality transplant and suddenly decided to talk back, to beings who could actually kill her.
Don't even get me started on how she found the fairyland. It took her maybe 20 minutes after her father had spent, what, 25 years and all of their life savings on it???? No explanation or reason given how did she manage that.
The abundance of pop culture references really wasn't my jam either.
I can't comment on the MCs or romance part because I didn't get that far. From what I've seen about the princes in what little I read, they seemed intriguing enough, but not so much to offset Rosalina and her personality of 10 grams of wheat flour.
