The Wish Granter by C.J. Redwine

5.0

Where have those books been? How is it possible that these books existed and that I didn't know about them? These books are like everything I want and need books to be and I'm absolutely, totally, extremely, completely, utterly in love with both the ones I've read so far! I'm so glad that I ordered a signed copy from blood spell and can't wait to actually read it.

But fine, let me attempt to find words to describe why I think these books are perfection.

Firstly: These books are written in a beautiful way. It's the perfect mixture of easy to read and nicely flowing and fairytale like beautiful. It's just enchanting and has such a nice rhythm. On top of that: the dialogues all feel very natural and realistic, which is always a great plus in books.

Secondly: The plot and setting. We have this beautiful fantasy world where literally everything is possible. And then we also have the elements of a fairytale, in this case Rumpelstiltskin (with some slight beauty and the beast and Hansel and Gretel references). The elements of the fairytale are used and embedded in such a way that they still feel fresh and original and give loads of room for an gripping and intriguing plot.

Thirdly and lastly, but surely not leastly: The characters! CJ Redwine manages to really craft layered, complex and realistic characters. She takes the time to introduce those characters to us and and she gives them the time to get to know each other and build meaningful relationships. Therefore it's almost impossible not to root for them and for them ending up together and getting their happily ever after.

Gosh, why do I make myself wait a week before I can read the next book in this series? I WANT IT NOW!
