This is an okay book. Nothing more, nothing less. It's an intriguinged story filled with vague fairytale references here and there, and vivid descriptions I could appreciate. It's also riddles with cliches I don't care for and written longwindedly in a way that doesn't intrigue me. At no point did I actually long for turning the page to find out what happened, in a way, I turned the page because I wanted the book to end sooner - it was okay and exciting enough for me to finish. The romance is okay, nothing new, nothing I haven't read before, and the plot is honestly retried and unoriginal, though written excitingly enough that it's an okay read and doesn't feel completely done.

This is a book best summed up in one word: meh. I read it, I didn't really care all too much, but it wasn't bad.

Will not be reading the next book, at least I doubt I will unless it falls me in to listen to the audiobook at some point (which I doubt). Probably nothing else from Whitten either, her writing style isn't bad and flows easily with descriptions I like, but it's very longwinded and she includes a lot of things I find unnecessary and repetitive.
