That this ended….. eventually.
I think if I read 10% of the beginning, and the last two chapters I would have been satisfied. I love Clara’s story but honestly the slut shaming (Luisa’s entire story honestly) I could have gone without. I LOVE the nutcracker and I would have loved a spicy book that was written well.

I cannot stop raving about this book. Good Lord, it was EVERYTHING I wanted and I cannot stop thinking about it!
The dual romances were perfect. I loved the blend between Clara and Fin's fast paced vs. Louisa and Lir's slow burn. The emotional roller coaster for that one was just wonderful to read and it kept me on my toes.
The horror aspects throughout the book were everything I wanted them to be. It was just. I cannot even begin to describe. From the beginning with the wood automatons, the secret hallway with hunting trophies, and the doll house all the way through the land of Faerie to the Rat King. What a beautifully grotesque part of this story that really highlighted those darker themes of fairy tales.
The characters were amazing. Fin has my whole heart utterly and I cannot even begin to explain why. He was so much fun and then when he fell for her?? That MAN. Ugh, so wonderful. And the tension between Louisa and Lir, how Lir fought his attraction with every fiber of his being while Louisa used it to tease and taunt him. My heart broke for her during their fights, but it was SO satisfying to see how their story grew.
I absolutely love this book, I'm still in a book hangover a week later and I cannot wait to continue the series.
