I wasn’t sure about this book when we got to That Reveal
that she was healed
but then there was the Actual Reveal
when we realize she’s not healed, her clock has just reset
. I was almost mad but then was happy with the ending. 

I found these characters very punk rock. I want Charm as my bestie too. 

Overall, this was a great read that I finished in about an hour and a half. I’m curious about the next book so I’m sure I’ll check that out too. 

Zinnia is one hell of a protagonist!

Le livre est très court donc 22€ ça me fait très mal mdrrr
Le début était plutôt long et pas ce à quoi je m'attendais donc j'ai pas forcément accroché même s'il y a un côté drôle et décalé plutôt cool
J'adore les réécritures de contes
, et franchement, une belle au bois dormant féministe et lesbienne, que demande le peuple😎

C'est un roman vraiment léger, qui se lit super rapidement et je suis vraiment contente qu'on puisse évoquer dedans la question des droits LGBT, ou du féminisme
Je reste un peu sur ma faim à la fin du premier tome et j'espère qu'on retrouvera quand même Zinnia dans le tome 2 "Éclats miroitants", dans une saga de réécriture de contes un peu comme pour les chroniques lunaires
En tout cas j'ai hâte de découvrir le tome 2

A fun, quick read that was completely endearing!
