The premise of this story is intriguing, essentially a villain origin story that predates the classic fairy tale, with a witchy twist.
Ayleth's character is well-developed and loyal to a fault, though her fear of her own power and her tendency to overthink situations leads to an overall sense of self-doubt. She's had her heart shattered repeatedly and would do anything, including risk her life, to get her sister Rhea back and right the wrongs that have been done to her and her coven. Only time will tell where her heart is truly leading her.
Thank you so much NetGalley and Del Rey for the digital review copy.
