Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this story. It has a part Cinderella retelling, faeries, a magical world, a little bit of rumplestilskin, and other famous fairytales intertwined with an immersing love story.
Elora is a wonderful fmc. She is kind, loyal, and a victim of circumstance. Finnian is a swoon-worthy mmc. He is the crowned prince of a wicked kingdom, and although he is morally ambiguous, he is desperately loyal to those he loves.
One thing that prevented me from rating higher is that the story is a little bit long. There is a lot of information and events that occur. The ending is fast-paced, but there were definitely moments where I felt the story could've been cut back a little bit.
Despite the length and sometimes larger information loads, I thought the premise was brilliant. I can't wait for more of this series.
