A Court Bright and Broken by Amy Patrick

5.0

I DEVOURED this. I absolutely loved the main character, Raewyn. She was so refreshing from the recent fmc’s I’ve read about in that she wasn’t totally naive and constantly making terrible decisions. We got to see her think things through in a realistic way. She didn’t always make the right choice but it made the character feel that much more real and relatable. There were so many times I thought to myself and wondered how I would’ve reacted differently in her situations but honestly not sure I would’ve have. I especially loved that we didn’t get the awful miscommunication, third act break up when she made her confessions to Stellon and Pharis. 

Our mmc, Stellon, was just so lovable. Even if he was a bit clueless at times, the storyline made it clear that he was just blinded by his love for Raewyn by showing how quickly Pharis picked up on all of the clues. He did sort of give off Benedict Bridgerton vibes when trying to figure out a solution to keeping Raewyn around (iykyk) but he was quick to realize why his ideas were not great. 

The storyline was so addicting and kept me on the edge of my seat. I haven’t stayed up late to finish a book (literally could not put it down for the whole second half) in a long time. I loved the Cinderella retelling and the whole time I was just dying to know how it was going to work out. 

BUT THAT ENDING?!?! sos why do that to us 💔
