I loved the two leads in this book. Sophia does not want to be chosen by a man at the mandatory royal ball, she doesn’t want to be beholden to a man, like every other woman in her town. This town is completely backward in its treatment of women, they should be seen and not heard, all women have a curfew of 8 pm and at the age of sixteen they are legally bound to attend the royal ball in the hope of being chosen by a man to be their wife, otherwise, their lives are forfeit into servitude or worse.
This book was brilliant, I was completely hooked from start to finish. I loved the new take on the old fairy tale and how our heroine Sophia refused to accept the laws passed down for centuries. Her fledgling romance with Constance, a descendant of one of the ‘evil’ stepsisters is wonderfully innocent but passionate.
The plot will have you swinging this way and that as you try to figure out what is happening. There are a few weird and dark moments (necromancy for one) but all in all, this book was one of my favourites so far this year.
