I was surprised about the time jump between this story and the last book, but it provides for a good premise and things that will be addressed in this book.
We still hop through the fairy tale multiverse with the self-consciousness and introspection the last about fairy tales and stories the last book had too. I loved that we moved to a different fairy tale (and it did not seemed forced or unnatural to jump to this one or to jump at all). 

Overall this was a great read and some good entertainment.

I liked this one, but oof, did the ending hurt. (Not because the terminally ill character was cured, thank goodness!) I just don't understand why

the couple couldn't get their happily ever after. Like, are we completely forgetting that Prim is not in her world?? So why do Eva and Zinnia have to be parted?

I really don’t know if I can put my feelings into words for this book. The beginning of it didn’t resonate quite as much as the first one and I wasn’t as invested but the ending absolutely split me open and despite it being fairly open ended I appreciated how it ended Zinnia’s story and felt it was fairly fitting 
Overall I really enjoyed reading this duology and would definitely recommend it
