Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge
1.0
I’m aware that this was meant to be another fairytale retelling, but to be honest I had trouble figuring out which story it was. It had a lot of similarities to Red Riding Hood, but also Robin Hood and the overall magic world of witches. The only part of this universe I found exciting was that it was based in Gevudán. (I love Teen Wolf).
Aside from that, the story was rather boring and didn’t have one direct story line, it was quite literally only when the book was near the end when it got most exciting and all those loose ends tied together. But still, I wanted to enjoy the entire book, not just three quarters of it.
It was a let down from the previous fairytale book of Rosamund Hodge, but still bearable.
Favourite quote: “He grinned at her, and it felt like there was no space or barrier at all between them, like his smile was happening inside her heart. Without meaning to at all, she smiled back. They were both fools, perhaps.”
