I am in awe of this story.
Beautifully written, amazing world building and so much drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! I loved Alyce's character, although she was never a villain in my eyes, only doing what she had to to stay alive. The princess Aurora was also an interesting character, she wanted to create change and transform the way Briar was ruled and her stance was admirable.
The exceptional slow burn of the blossoming relationship between the two was intoxicating and I was desperate to keep reading to find out what happens next. There is so much going on in the story but it is written so well that you can keep up and enjoy the wild ride you are on. It really picks up the pace at about 70% and my emotions were everywhere, twist after twist and I was really starting to worry about how things were going to end! The ending was definitely unexpected but luckily there is going to be a second book which I need already!
Overall a fantastic book full of emotion and events that will keep you reading all night.

Boyyyyyyyyyyy I was not expecting this to be so good! I did not want to stop reading, I want to reread it already. This is how you do a sapphic fairytale retelling!
I liked this book a lot more than I anticipated, since you know, it was rather fast paced to be so boring for the majority of it. So here’s the thing- Alyce’s journey of self discovery was, originally, a fun thing to read about. I thought this was gonna be a fun twist on the story, where instead of a dragon, we get two girls who fall in love but lol. Alyce spends soooo much of this book telling everyone that she isn’t evil like they think and then turns around and does the evil things. It’s like Aurora says, she had a choice. She KNEW the king was using her for terrible things and would probably betray her and behold! He was and he did and she was surprised??? Girl what? I will say that her girl boss moment at the end was fun to read- she deserved revenge and she took it.
This was just not what I expected from all the buzz I heard about it, but it wasn’t a bad book and I’ll definitely read on to see how the series ends.

The magic and world building was a bit hard to get into. Just like her other duology, the transformation of the main character felt rushed to leave the story on a cliffhanger.
