This comedic twist on Grimm’s The Twelve Huntsmen is perfect for lovers of Ella Enchanted and other fairy tale reimaginings. My favorite part of this story was by far the off the charts absurdity. The banter between all of the characters was executed so well. I especially loved the dynamic between the sisters and their spouses.
I think what kept this from being a four star read was the relationship with Angelique being underdeveloped. The book is marketed like we’ll have romance with both her and one of the huntsmen, but Angelique is only in like three scenes by the time it’s pretty obvious that the huntsman is endgame. If you go into the book knowing that this isn’t a queer love triangle then I think you won’t be as disappointed.
