A good book overall, but it was just kinda predictable and easy. Not a bad thing, just not challenging.

I had to downgrade my rating from a 3 to 2 star. Almost DNF.. 1- this is NOT a little red riding hood retelling. Not even close. 2- slight similarities to beauty and the beast. 3- slllllooooowwwwww burn amounted to one anticlimactic scene.

I feel like the author cheaply threw in nods to fairy tales that served no point. It’s a bit hard to follow. I still don’t understand what makes the kings the villains in this story. Everything was so vague it was just annoying to try to follow. I had so much hope for this story and then it just got repetitive and really went nowhere. I skimmed the last 50 pages- skipped the epilogue.

I do love the cover and the raw page edges. But otherwise, terribly disappointing.


i really wanted to like this book because it was written beautifully but i was so bored and found it so repetitive

I'm so sorry, babes, but this one lost me.

It was not bad, not by any objective standard. It was well written and the initial set up was interesting, but it stretched things far too much for me to remain interested. I didn't get to care about the characters even though I knew exactly what they were going through.

Had this been 300 pages long maybe I would have liked it more.
