I am absolutely in love with this book! I usually read multiple books at a time, but once I got into this one, it became my one and only. I couldn't tear myself away from it. It has a rich, complex story with characters that I felt fully invested in.
A very modern and forward-thinking fairy tale. Like Wrede's Enchanted Forest series, this book constantly challenges traditions, noting how people will often do ludicrous things in the name of tradition. The final takeaway: If you don't break tradition, society can not progress.
Whenever I pick up a new book, it is my hope and dream that I will be uplifted and inspired. This book did exactly that! So rewarding and utterly enchanting.
Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released 9/5/23.
