5.0

This book was so fascinating.  Really loved this twist in Little Red Riding Hood/Beauty & the Beast type shit.  I loved the wood, Red’s character development, and

her love story with Eammon.

These characters were truly winning -

although I did get VERY ANNOYED at Neve for being so naive.  I know she wanted to save Red but GIRL COME ON. 

Very very interested to see where the second book goes!!  Great job with fascinating character development and a fresh, fascinating take on a familiar tale.

It looks like a spin on Red Riding Hood, but it becomes so much more.  Highly recommend.

Whitens writing is gorgeous, however was a bit slow for me and I wasn’t particularly captivated by the plot, (just not for me!)

Fun ideas, not very well written. Fight scenes seem to jump around too much and description seems to be missing which almost made me feel dizzy and lost while reading. On the other hand, character traits are definitely told (multiple times) and not shown, and the world is not developed enough to be convincing or intriguing , leading to a  boring and confusing read overall.

Not sure this one quite lived up to the hype, but it was a solid 4 star Red Riding Hood meets Beauty and the Beast fantasy adventure. I definitely liked Whitten’s other book, The Foxglove King, better.
