4.04 AVERAGE


3.5 stars. This is a slow burn Cinderella retelling with fae and magic and a sprinkle of a Bridgerton-esqe social season. It was just about as ridiculous as it sounds, but was still fun. Also it was free on KU so there’s that. I loved our male lead and his lack of attention to gender norms.

wow wow wow !!!!! im so obsessed with both of these characters it’s so refreshing to finally like both the mcs in the books and i love how this one was also dual pov
FRAAANCCCOOOOO

*2.5*-the way the author describes ember's music is SO annoying and repetitive and it was literally described every five pages (I think she wrote 'trepidation' about a thousand times). don't really care about any of the characters tbh--disappointed:(
