3.0

*ETA After sitting with my thoughts and then eventually reading the first 3 books in the series, I have changed my rating from 4 stars to 3. 

A wonderful book that got me out of a reading slump. You could easily see it’s influence from Beauty and the Beast, which made for an interesting slow-burn romance. I enjoyed the characters, and the storytelling was vivid, pulling you right into that world. 
In saying that, this book does have its flaws including slow pacing, a few predictable plot points, and some cringy dialogue. 
Overall, it was a compelling read that I couldn’t put down. I look forward to picking up the sequel.
