I adored the children and I am glad for the ending but the story was so slow paced and I found the pregnancy stuff kind of ick

I enjoyed this book. I think it was a good sequel. This is a dark fairytale retelling. The characters are entertaining and there is come character development. The relationship between the characters is interesting. The plot is a little predictable though I did enjoy it. The writing style is lovely.

I already loved the first book, but this sequel has truly blown it out of the park. And though I thought I knew where the story was going after the first one, I didn’t see some of the twists coming. I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED this sequel! I especially enjoyed the fact that certain LGBTQIA couples weren’t presented as something special, but just a normal occurrence - as it should be! This duology  is by far my favorite retelling of the Rumpelstilzchen/Rumpelstilskin story there is!🥰🥰

I was reminded how heartbroken the first book left me and felt it going further downhill starting this title. Honestly, I am not trying to read any books that will further upset me and am throwing in the towel.
