First off, thank you for writing a romantasy book that has a grown-ass woman as the FMC!  That's an instant win in my books, but there was so much more to this book to love.  Alix is plucked from her disasterous normal life and dropped into a Fae world of curses and intrigue, and she may be the key to saving all of them.  While somewhat predictable at times, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey on every single page.  I love Kate's writing style, and this book is no exception.  It was well-paced, and I felt like we got to know our characters (and this new world) well throughout the book.  This book is heavily inspired by Beauty & the Beast and Anastasia (two of my personal favourites), and I loved all the little nods to them.  This was a great start to a (hopefully) long romantasy series!
