Beginning and ending were good but there was way too much fluff in the middle. I had a very hard time getting through it and almost considered dropping it in favor of other stories.

I like Evangeline. She is the noble FMC hero we all like to see in a fairytale. I also got some cinderella vibes initially between her and her stepsister/stepmother.

And the little bits of slowburn were nice but I am still not sold on Jacks and don’t get the obsession. Maybe that will change with book 2?
