Picks up further on from where the last book left off, no rehashing, the story is happening right now keep up. The mash up of Cinderella and Snow White was alright but the main focus was on how Zinnia was running away from her problems and not confronting her worries; pushing away her friends, family and her real world in favour of diving into these other worlds to be a hero and give people their happy ending instead of confronting herself. Which yeah that's a totally worthwhile plot.
The romance was a bit too speedy for my taste. I definitely prefer more of a slow understanding, a friendship first or even a slow burn to an insta-attraction and three days later we are in love romance. It just doesn't vibe with me unless we're under extreme circumstances and then you gotta at least give em a week for those trauma bonding chemicals or what have you to kick it off. Three days??? All that's to say that it needed more time to cook and then I could've seen it working.
Minor: Death, Terminal illness, Cannibalism, and Child abuse

While not directly discussed, merely implied with the knowledge that most women will understand, subjects of misogyny and abuse of women, as well as sexual assault, are dealt with.faduma's review against another edition
