Thank you Saga Press #SagaSaysCrew and NetGalley for the gifted review copy!

A compelling blend of fairytale and Greek mythology, drawing inspiration from "The Beauty and the Beast" and the myth of Hades and Persephone. The lead character, Wren, is a relatable figure struggling with alcoholism and loneliness, while the antagonist, Boreas, is a redeemable villain with depth. The selfless sacrifices made by both characters add a powerful layer to the narrative. The book is a masterful mix of romance, adventure, and heartache, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.

The slowest of slow burns, and so worth it. I didn't want to put this book down, and cannot wait for the next story in the series. Wren is bullheaded and has bite to back up her bark, Boreas is the frosty king with an unsuspected heart of gold. The story is original and gripping 

(after the "stolen away to be a god/king's bride" trope)

, and the romance is a slow, slow burn - but the cute, funny moments and the epiloge we're the best.

Gives me Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones meets Olympus vibes. If you liked Rhapsodic by Laura Thalissa, you'll probably like this. I'm also reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the books appear to start similarly.
