THE GOOD:
* OH MY GOD I AM DEAD, this is coming to you from the beyond, where my soul was expelled after reading this book
* in case you didn’t know, this is a Beauty and the Beast retelling and it is GLORIOUS
* the main character has cerebral palsy, and she’s a goddamn badass, I would let her walk all over me and say thank you
* the writing is beautiful and mesmerising and this book had almost 500 pages but I absolutely FLEW through it because this is what good literature does to me
* there’s such a fun, refreshing twist on the original fairy tale and there’s such a fantastic cast of characters, I LOVE EVERY ONE OF MY CHILDREN
* there’s political intrigue and there’s a mix of modern and medieval and guys, I can honestly rave about this book all day and not get tired because I LOVED IT
* my feelings got eviscerated and I just felt so much for all the characters - the longing, the desperation, the struggle between doing what is right and doing what is needed - just... ugh
* seriously, pick this up and pick it up NOW (or well, as soon as it hits shelves on January 29th)
THE BAD:
* I got nothing GO PREORDER THIS BOOK
YAY or NAY: just... go, buy this and then come rave to me about it
Favourite quote:
This was never a curse to be broken. This is a death sentence. The true curse has been the thought that we might find escape.
★★★★★

Ugh, I want to read this so bad but I must get through at least some of the books I recently bought before I can buy the ebook of this. I've literally read every other one of her books and I am so excited she is going into high fantasy!!! And fairy tale retellings!!!

Got the whole trilogy for Christmas, finally read in September of 2023 and OMG fave series I have ever read it did something to me that nothing else has ever done to me before you can go see my review for more info but ur right about it all.
