⁕ This book was a very refreshing read after several heavier adult fiction novels. It’s fast-paced and full of delightful little twists. I definitely recommend it if you want something to pull you out of a slump.
⁕ All of the main and secondary characters are so loveable! I just wish the book was longer or that there was a sequel so that I could have spent more time with them!
⁕ I appreciate that this text pushed me to interrogate and question the role that heteronormativity plays in a lot of fantasy, as well as the overall impact that it has on readers and our culture as a whole.

“And you’re not lost?”
I think for a moment. “Maybe I am. But the difference is that I want to be found. I’m not happy pretending everything is fine when I know it’s not.”
“And just who is it that you suppose will find you?” Amina asks. “It’ll be me,” I say. “I will find myself.”
I would have liked to read more about Manford’s motivations and his character. With this depth it could have been a much more complex story.
Sophia also hides a dagger in her dress and attends a cotillion, I know some people really love that trope.
But still, I think the story has an important message.
To raise your voice is a hard thing to do in a society where women are not seen as equal by a lot of people. And it makes you sad, because some of the situations described are not only in this pages, but reality for some women or people who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Also the cover is absolutely gorgeous.
“Do not be silent. Raise your voice. Be a light in the dark.”

The twist with the fairy godmother was interesting, and I liked Luke even though he was only in the story for like ten seconds, but that's about all the good I can say about it.
