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.

Such a great book! Queer representation with black main characters. A Cinderella retelling with a twist, and strong female characters. I really loved this book, and how Sophia never gave up her fight for others. Perfect to read in the fall/winter.

Loved it! It was fast-paced, but very well written. Had me on the edge of my seat for certain parts. I suppose the ending is to expected, but there were some twists and turns that I did not see coming. Sophia is now one of my favorite characters! Be a light in the dark!
