The Wish Granter by C.J. Redwine

5.0

I absolutely loved this story! I truly didn't want to stop reading for any reason. Right from the get-go, we were introduced to great characters, a compelling and tense story, a fun world, and a swoon-worthy storybook romance. I loved this new take on Rumpelstiltskin and found his motives and ability to be ten steps ahead at all times made him a truly despicable villain. Ari was a fantastic hero, and I loved that while she was pretty, she also seemed like the kind of girl I could meet and be instant friends with (if nothing else, we would bond over love for bacon and cake). In equal measure, I adored Sebastien and his character arc. He was a tragic character, and not a typical hero. He was an absolute sweetheart, but definitely not someone to mess around in a fight. I could nitpick about some plot holes that seemed a little open or things that weren't covered that I wanted to be, but in all honesty, they're trivial and not worth mentioning when the core story and characters are so memorable and engaging. I can't recommend this book enough to people who enjoy fantasy retellings, and who are craving a book with an ending that will pull on every heartstring you have. Absolutely worth your time and money!
