Omg!!! I absolutely love this book!! The moment I started reading I was hooked.
**** Very Mild Spoilers **** While Sophia is not my favorite MC, Constance balances her out and they are awesome together. This book fits in so well with the story we all know and love of Cinderella that it gives me a shiver thinking of all our “true” history that may not be quite so true. I liked the premise of the story, because who doesn’t love two queer girls overthrowing a tyrant of magical proportions; but I didn’t realize just how amazing it was going to be.
**** Mild Spoilers Over **** I finished this in two days because I just wanted to keep going. The writing was fluid and so easy to get into that I swear this couldn’t have been 400 pages! (Of course it totally is tho)… I was so invested that by the end I was gasping aloud, shouting for Sophia and her friends to prevail, and then screaming noooooo when the major twist happens at the end.
I’ll not completely spoil it for you, but it was really good. It’s official, I’ll be buying this book and reading any other book Kalynn Bayron writes. Now I’m off to figure out how to get her Captain Hook origin book!!
Thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
