I didn’t like the beginning as it seemed very like Cinderella and the evil stepmother but I really got into the storyline after chapter 2. Loved the ending of it. My favourite book of the series, so far anyway!

this was basically a captive-captor and forbidden romance cinderella retelling. you cannot change my mind.

i adored sophie and wanted to protect her forever. i didn’t hate benedict… but he wasn’t my favorite either and sometimes i wanted to throttle him. so yeah, their story was… interesting. all in all, i must say that i was still massively entertained throughout the story despite the shortcomings.
