Was this book good? Not really. Does it get an extra star for at least being entertaining? Sure. I liked that our FMC is not just some helpless princess, but will stand up to the men in her life and scheme to survive. I do wish that she had done a little bit more herself in this book, as she was still too much of a pawn for me. As far as the men go, they both suck and I at no point believed that there was actual love between Mildred and either one of them, except for the tiniest little hint of it, maybe, waaaay at the end (like 95% in). I was excited at first because I was getting “This is My Idea” from the Swan Princess vibes at the beginning, but I just needed a bit more hints along the way that Atakan wasn’t just an entire ass.
