I received an eARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Once upon a time there was a prince and a princess who loved each other very much. That is, until the princess died. A witch appeared and granted the prince her life back, but in exchange she took away their love. They are sent to Lover’s Keep, where the land only prospers if the King and Queen are in love. A year and a day pass and they are being kicked out. The witch appears again and offers them their hearts desire, but again happiness has a price. Join Imelda and Ambrose on a journey to claim their hearts desire. Along the way, they may figure out what that truly is.
The prose in this was absolutely wonderful; the words flowed beautifully! This fairytale was a quick read and also exhibited some valuable life lessons. This definitely was a fairytale like any other! Love can be taken away, but can it be reclaimed?
I loved how strong Imelda was. She was not going to take any crap from anyone, especially a man. Imelda has been controlled by her father her whole life, what she wants is to be free.
