It’s been 2 years since I was back in the Magnificent North… and what a warm welcome back!

I start to tear up whenever I think about this book. I am CHANGED! This was absolutely beautiful. This book was like walking into a storybook from my childhood. I couldn’t love this book more.

I remember loving Evangeline in the first book but I absolutely adored her in this one. All she wants is a happy ending and I genuinely admire her so so much. She never gives up, but she also never sacrifices her morals and her beliefs in pursuit of her happiness and that was amazing to see.

Jacks is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever read. In OUABH he was so shrouded in mystery and it was difficult to see the truth from a trick. But he shined so so bright in this book. I really enjoyed his character before, but you get to know him with so much more depth and it’s so heartbreaking, but also beautiful.

This was one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given and I have no doubts about it. If someone ever ask me about this book I’ll say that there is nothing of equal value to me.

I never knew it was possible for a book to be worse than Once Upon A Broken Heart. Yet here we are.
And because I hate myself, I will probably read the third one as well.

STEPHANIE! That cliffhanger was NOT COOL, man! And book three doesn’t come out until October 2023?!

Fabulous fairytale though—can’t wait to read the next installment!
