Of Glass and Glamour by Chanda Hahn

faithlav's review

adventurous

4.0

This book didn’t feel as unique as the first book in the series, probably because a book in a different Chanda Hahn series also had the same competition to win a Prince premise, but I didn’t completely mind that. Eden was a bit more bland that Rosalie, but I don’t have any complaints about her. The one thing that makes this book better than it’s prequel is that the romance was much better. The leads actually had consistent chemistry so the ending is extremely satisfying. I’m not a fan of a love triangle, but the way it was handled at the end excuses that.

The MMC in the first book was not great,  but Dorian was an improvement.

Still very predictable, but that didn't take away from it for me. I loved the unique take on Cinderella, who has always been my favorite princess. Overall an enjoyable read.

Eden, introduced in the initial installment of the Daughters of Eville series, "Of Beast and Beauty," is sent to Candor to partake in the royal masquerade ball, where the Prince seeks a suitable consort. However, Eden's purpose is not in winning the Prince's affections; her mission is one of vengeance for her parents. Proficient in the art of Glamours, Eden's skill proves invaluable, especially when the royal family aims to match the Prince with a woman of wealth. Throughout her journey, she crosses paths with Dorian, a figure in the Prince's service whose true allegiance remains ambiguous. To uncover Dorian's intentions and the unfolding narrative, one must delve into the story firsthand.
