God I loved this book. Definitely going to one of my all time favourites. Sophia’s fight to the very end to

ending Manfred’s reign

meant so much to me and

stopping the tyranny over the people allowing for women to be free and have actual choices

was so important to me and I’m so proud of her

A bit predictable but it's twisty and turny.

Hooked from the beginning! I devoured this book, so engaging and fast paced. A unique retelling that lived up to the hype! The plot twist caught me completely by surprise, it was so well done.

The only “negatives” that I didn’t completely love (but didn’t keep this from being a 5 star) was the romance and a couple of predictable plot points. The romance was just okay for me, it felt a bit insta lovey. As for the plot points/reveals, I predicted two of them almost immediately 😂🥲

Overall it was a quick, entertaining read! Highly recommend for those that also enjoy retellings

An excellent retelling of Cinderella from the point of view of a sapphic poc. Predictable at times but still a delightful read.
