EDIT: I forgot just how much that one quote pained me. I'm currently very unwell. Anyways, it's still 4.5/5 stars, and I actually devoured this, and I'm so glad I reread it! ____________ I’m not sure where to start, actually. There’s a lot I could say, but like I said, I’m not sure where to start. I’ve read this book twice before, but that was before I had Goodreads, so it doesn’t count. I actually really enjoyed reading this. I forgot how much I loved Iko, and I really missed her at the end of the book 🥲. I also forgot how much Peony dying actually hurt. I loved her, even though she was only alive for like.. five minutes. The hate I have for Adri and Pearl.. I can’t even begin to explain the hatred I’ve got for those two. Levana too. Obviously, I already knew that Cinder was Princess Selene, but I’d forgotten some of the reveal, so I’m glad I reread it. I also really liked the plot. The whole ”lost princess thing was extremely enjoyable. I remember enjoying it the first time I read it, too. Overall, I give this book 4.5/5 stars, but I probably won’t read it again this time.

I had no idea what I was getting into with this book but I loved it. I loved the sassy characters and how the story twists and turns around the original fairy tale in a unique way. The world building was fantastic and simple but descriptive. I listened to the audiobook via Borrowbox and the narrator was great. Clear with great emotion.

I read this book once before, quite a long time ago, but I still felt all the emotions while reading and the revelations still hit me just as hard! I did noticed some smaller details which I would have likely missed, or not thought of as significant, when I first read so I am glad I have re-read this incredible story.
