4.5 - eARC review

I really enjoyed the previous two installments so when I saw this on netgalley I jumped at the chance to read it.

This time round we follow Fern as she struggles to choose a life path. A drunken night leads to an unwanted adventure with a renowned warrior, a very loveable goblin and some other interesting characters (you'll have to read the book to meet them!). This is still a warm hearted cozy fantasy but definitely has the most action to date which I really enjoyed. Overall, this was another fun and entertaining addition to the series and if you enjoyed the previous books then you'll definitely enjoy this one.

This is my first book of Freya Markse that I've read and I'm pleased to say, I really enjoyed the writing style. I usually struggle to get into novellas and connect with the characters but Freya did an excellent job is this unique retelling of Cinderella. The story follows Ella who is now a ghost magically bound to the house, her step mother and sisters who are as evil as ever, and of course the prince who may or may not have his own magical problems. The magic elements and world building were interesting with plenty of twists and turns on the original story to keep it fresh and interesting. The tale took a few dark turns at times which were very unexpected but welcome. If you are looking to try out this author then this is an excellent book to get a taste. 

Thank you to Pan Macmillan and Netgalley for this eARC to review.
