Overall good plot line, but some of the writing was hard to follow. Entrigued to see where the next book goes.

The audiobook narrators were not it. May try to read it later on my kindle.

The Important Highlights
This romantasy is marketed as Rumplestiltskin x Swan Princess vibes and y'all, it was. It has enemies to lovers. It has forbidden love. It has a strong heroine. The shapeshifting in this consists of wolves and a swan. This is book 1 of a duology and there really isn't a cliffhanger but there is definitely a nod to the second book in it.

What I Liked
Everything.

What I Didn’t Like
Nothing.

In Conclusion
My god, this was actually SO GOOD. This has been on my TBR since like 2021 and I’m so mad at myself for waiting this long to read it. Immediately starting book two!!!

breathtaking. electrifying. heart-stopping.
absorbing from beginning to end. once I started, I could not put it down. brilliant!

This book angers me. It has so much potential but didn’t do anything with it. The characters made weird choices that had me frustratingly wondering why they’d do something like that, only for it to turn up later in the plot. Characters making plot driven decisions, rather than character driven decisions is unimaginative and lazy writing.
What is more, the writer set up a magic system and proceeded to do nothing with it. Opal can shift into a swan but is captured and locked up in a castle tower, with a window… that can open… and fit a grown-ass, full-sized man… BUT SHE DOESN’T FLY OUT!?!? Not to mention the fact she can just open locked doors with her magic and can literally walk out! But she keeps talking about finding a way to escape!!!???!?? What the actual fuck?
I’m so done.
