The Blood Spell by C.J. Redwine
4.0
The love story in this one was the sloooowest of slow burns. And. I. Loved. It.
Another great retelling by Redwine! I do really enjoy her books. Once again, I like the extra magic that she has in the world she’s created. I also like that all of the Ravenspire books are in the same world, just neighboring kingdoms.
Redwine did an excellent job of keeping the basic Cinderella plot, but changing enough aspects to make it her own story! That kept me engaged.
One thing that I didn’t understand was why the king was such good friends with a commoner? I like the result - Blue knows the royal family well, is friends with the princess and basically grew up with the prince - but it just doesn’t make sense.
