I got half way through this And I thought I could force myself to finish this. Cause it is such a short book but I couldn’t do it!
I’m sorry but the presentation is horrid. The way character interact with each other doesn’t flow. It’s like characters are having to different conversations at the same time.
The way characters act too is very confusing and their reactions to things don’t make sense.
And just over all trying to understand what’s going on is very difficult for example. (Not a spoiler!) Both of the witches arms is being held by two separate people. The next minute she’s folding her arms. What?? Do the 2 princes let go of her arms? Or did she yank herself free? Why did they even grab her arms?? What the heck is going on here???
Oh and the big secret that’s portrayed is pretty predictable.
I think this is one of the worst books I’ve read,or tried to force myself to finish, I’m sorry but I couldn’t enjoy anything about it :(

The worldbuilding was cool but I was not a fan of the characters personalities or how the story was unfolding. Not my thing.

Wow! This is an underrated novel that more people need to read.
I acquired this book as my local bookstore was closing and everything was $3 or less so I decided to get some novels that I wouldn't normally read, and I am so glad I chose this one.
This was the most refreshing fairytale I have ever read and I really enjoyed that it didn't copy aspects of other fairytale and make it a spin-off.
This book switches between to P.O.V's (Jane, the princess, and Reagan, the witch) which is something I normally hate in a book but fell in love with during this novel.
I honestly had no hope for the novel or intrest in its plot when I began reading as I thought that it was going to follow a story of the princesses breaking their curse and ending in they lived happily ever after, but this is so much more than that.
This novel has so much to unpack, from the suppression of women, touches on politics and the Matthew effect, rape and famine.
I won't even talk about the plot twist as I don't want to spoil it but I will say that not once did I ever expect it, or even think that it would be comming
While I do think the world building was lacking and that the ending could have been better, or left room for a second novel, which I would read in a heartbeat, I can honestly say that this was the most surprising book I have ever read.
I will be thinking about this book for a long time and I know I will read it again in the future to relieve this magical story again

Really unsatisfying.
I appreciated the rise at the end, but so much of the book is just fear. Despite a five-year-long thing that has been endured suddenly coming to a head... it still feels like nothing really happens.
I don't think the story here lives up to the gorgeous book cover.
And there is no satisfying resolution for the characters of the story. I think it's meant to be, but it wasn't the kind of payoff that the readers deserved.

I immediately fell in love with this book when I saw the cover. And oh boy, it did not disappoint. I loved this book! The audiobook for this is also phenomenal. The story line was so fascinating, I couldn't stop reading it because I just needed to find what would happen next!
The characters in this are SO GOOD. I will say, the princes sucked, like omg. I haaaaaaate them. I did love Jane. She is awesome. She is probably my favorite character. This world was so cool. With the Witches and magic, it was just awesome. This book was a little slow-paced, but not in a bad way. I usually avoid slow-paced books because they make me sleepy, but this one was done really well.
So, if your looking for a captivating, somewhat slow-paced, standalone fantasy read, then this is the book for you!
