I forgot how easy this book is to read!

Such a simple, but well executed story. Brie is an easily liked FMC, she’s strong, independent and determined to save her sister from the clutches of the fae. 

The book has Cinderella vibes for sure at the beginning, with a touch of Beauty and the Beast (magical mirror showing anything you want to see, amazing library etc). However, this storybook theme only added to the whimsical vibe the author was portraying. 

It does have quite an intense cliffhanger, one where you immediately wish to pick up book 2 as you NEED to know what’s about to happen. And that is exactly what I’m going to do!
