This book felt very fast paced (almost too fast?) but I’d prefer that over something so slow it’s dragging lol. I remember in book one I wasn’t super crazy about the romance, but I think I forgot enough of what happened in Spin the Dawn for it not to bother me in this one haha. Either way, I’m happy I finished this duology!...more
(3.75 stars more likely) OKAY SO THIS BOOK. I’m slightly bummed because the first book was SO GOOD. And the second one I thought was ALSO GOOD. But I (3.75 stars more likely) OKAY SO THIS BOOK. I’m slightly bummed because the first book was SO GOOD. And the second one I thought was ALSO GOOD. But I had to get halfway through this almost 800 page book before the story finallyyyy started picking up.
I still loveeee these characters and I still like the plot no matter how absurd or crazy it may get, but the pacing....oh my goodness. When it’s slow, it’s SLOW. And when it’s fast, it flies by! This was very much a stop and go and stop and go kind of book for me, and I was ready to tear my hair out through much of it (partly because of the pacing and partly because of what was happening in the story lol), but overall I can’t say I’m not happy for more Esta and Harte content. Because I’m very much here for it hahaha...more

But I literally cannot bring myself to rate above a 2/2.5 for this story, and it PAINS me.
I really enjoyed the first book! I LOVED the characters (especially Grey) and was looking forward to seeing how the plot thickened after that twist at the end....and then I read this and wish I’d stopped at the 60% mark like I’d been debating. Lia Mara really annoyed me, and though I liked Grey in book one, there was something about him in this story that I just didn’t vibe with. I also felt like nothing really happened? The whole thing was just kind of meh.
After that Harper chapter in the beginning I had hoped to see more of both sides, especially Rhen & how he fared with the PTSD that was mentioned after all that craziness, but when we never got that the story immediately fell flat.
Idk y’all. I’ve never been so disappointed in a sequel & I’m so sad about it. :’(...more

The ending made this go from a 3.5 to a 4 star for me because I was so eager to know what was going to happen, but for the first 1/2 of the book I was a bit eh. I did really love Harper and the cerebral palsy rep, especially in a fantasy, but the first person POV swap between her and Rhen was not my fav (personally, I prefer third person if there are swapping POVs) though it wasn’t all bad!
Overall I liked the bit of twist this gave to the Beauty and the Beast story & I’m eager to read the next one just to know what’ll happen!...more

It definitely had those common tropes that can get kind of boring and repetitive like the chosen one, or the whole “she‘s not like other girls” thing, but if you can get past that then it’s a cute middle grade story! There’s definitely a lot left unanswered and since there’s literally been like 9 other books published since this one released, I’m assuming I’ll get answers there lol...more
