bro.. what the heck… i need the second book NOW 
i loved this book very much and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since i finished it. the only thing i didn’t enjoy as much is how the ending came about; it seemed like the author was trying to throw in a cliff hanger and it just seemed very abrupt against the rest of the plot 
but other than that, i adored it!!

Well. Damn. This was incredible!!

Rep: sapphic half-vila MC, possibly suffers from PTSD, sapphic love interest, queer-normative world for MLM and WLW couples (sadly still very driven by the gender binary).

CWs: Blood, bullying, death, gaslighting/manipulation, lesbophobia/general queerphobia for royals, misogyny, murder, violence, child abuse, drug use/abuse by side character, grief, slavery/extortion of Graces, torture, xenophobia towards Vila and Fae.

I really liked this book! It is a retelling of sleeping beauty, but it is different enough to keep the story fresh. It ends on a cliffhanger and the next book has yet to be written, which was disappointing.
