It’s upsetting to me that this book isn’t talked about enough.

Has a beauty and the beast feel with a Cinderella stepmother, but then if goes off the rails into something new.

This was super predictable but still enjoyable! I probably won’t reread though.

Updated: Reread:
I had to give this a second try, for one I loved the first book, although you do not have to read the in order, they are pretty much stand alones. I also ended up immersing myself into the audiobook while I physically read this again. I loved the story line and the worldbuilding. I think I wasn't in the mindset the first time around and had originally gave it a 3 star. I do admit some of the feels still feel the same, such as I feel in parts the story seems to skip some steps and I found myself rereading back because I thought I missed something. However; the mystery of getting betrothed and the journey Katria goes through was ultimately fun for me. I don't own a physical copy of this but I definitely need to so I can reread as much as I like.
I seen in another reviewer comment that they picked up on the Eros and Psyche vibes and I have to agree just a tad with that which is another reason I also enjoyed this. Fantasy mixed with retelling vibes is always my kind of book to read.
