A little creepy honestly. It's not bad though.

Initial Thoughts

I didn't know anything about this book going into it. I think it's way more fun that way and I'm not influenced by other reviews while reading it.

My New BFF

I really admire Nari. She was a great character. She had these expectations of her since she's a girl but she always stayed true to herself. She's a fighter and that's why this story turned out in her favor.

My Crush

I'm not sure if I can say I have a crush on Ryne but I did really like him as a character. I liked seeing some parts about when he was younger because it let me appreciate the man he has become more. I did find his romance a little weird and rushed. I would have liked to see more of them courting each other instead of the quick romance they did have.

Writing Style

From the summary of the book I was expecting more fantasy and not this much romance. I'd say it's more of a romance story than fantasy. I was confused when I started the book because it was very heavy on the romance. I also got a little confused when we started changing perspectives but in the end I decided I kind of liked it. I wish the story hadn't felt so rushed to me though. I think there could have been more details and character building and that would have made a better story.

Closing Thoughts

I thought this was a pretty cool addition to the fairy tale genre. You saw all the makings of a fairy tale as you were reading and it even came with a happy ending which I enjoyed. It was a little too short and pretty predictable though which is why it didn't get a higher rating. 3 stars is still good though! It means I really enjoyed the story. I'm happy I got a chance to read this book and I think everyone should pick it up if they're looking for a cute and quick fairy tale type of story.
