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!

liked the book besides

the part where she was sent to jail and they had to come save her. it felt a little too silly and i kept thinking while reading it how stupid it was. i think they will probably change that in the tv show. benedict was also an ass at times pressuring her to be his mistress. made it a little hard to believe he was in love with her (not to mention he kept thinking about this lady in silver) however it wasn’t enough to make me dislike the story as he seemed to develop as a character and become more self-aware.

other than that tho enjoyed it from start to finish as a light read to get out of a slump. the relationship could have been fleshed out a bit more but they were also likable. best to go into it with no expectations as benedict is a bit different than the tv benedict.
