The writing is great, but the plot failed at drawing me in. It might be just wrong place wrong time, but this ultimately didn’t leave a mark on me.

A great dark YA retelling of Swan Lake with a sapphic romance added in too. I absolutely loved it!

Unfortunately I don't like the ending but we definitely need more sapphic retellings

Been reading a lot of YA books recently where the plot is just “can these queer teens 🏳️‍🌈😝 save the world of magic ⁉️🤩 with the power of love 🥰 and friendship 🫂 before this evil old guy 🤮👴 takes over the throne 👑⁉️⁉️😢” and then I’m surprised when it’s too predictable
