I love that these are mini stories of past adventures, it gives more insight as to how characters ended up where they are in Throne of Glass. Fair warning, this book will hurt at the end.

Easily one of my favorite books of 2023! Can’t believe I waited so long to read this, and now I want to devour the rest of the series. Amazing writing, a page-turner and such a lovable story.

This was my first Colleen Hoover novel, and I was not disappointed! Kept me intrigued the whole time, pulled my heart every which way and I cried. I cried a lot. Recommended to my mom, and she read it in 3 days. Safe to say, my mom loved it too.

Best Peter Pan retelling I’ve read so far! This one surprised me in the best way possible. Looking for a dark romance Disney retelling? Look no further!
