I really liked the fantasy story line, but the book is unnecessarily explicit. I'm all for a good racy scene, but these felt forced and didn't carry the story line forward.

Fated mates, wolf shifters, a sleeping beauty curse gender exploration and add some spice? SIGN ME UP!

Mulford puts a beautiful new spin on an old “tail” of sleeping beauty, with twin wolf shifter as our princesses. The lore, world building and characters were so rich I didn’t want to leave the world and can’t wait to dive back in with the second book. 

AK absolutely hit a chord with me and I think will with many readers with the gender expression and exploration parts of this book. There were lines and parts where I just felt fully seen and validated in myself and knew that everything I had been through as a queer person wasn’t a singular experience. 

Everyone who loves fantasy and especially queer fantasy needs to pick this one up
