I understand why people gave Sybella her flowers back in the day; she's a stronger character than Ismae in which that her prickly nature, pessimism, and trauma feel more fleshed out. Her background in speckled throughout the book rather than completely stated in the introductory chapter, and her motives and perspectives on life feel justified with each layer that is sloughed off. Her romance with The Beast is also very cute!

This one is so much darker and sadder than the first.  The things Sybella has dealt with her whole life and the journey she is on is a hard one.  

(Sexual abuse is talked about) 
(Suicidal thoughts) 

Beast is my favorite man.  In my mind he isn’t ugly at all because his heart and personality is just the best but the author has stated multiple times that he is ugly ugly lol 
Good thing Sybella prefers toads to princes 😍😩

I just really love this series. This pacing is alot faster. A lot more action. And a lot more drama!

I must have faith, but having faith is hard, so very much harder than despair.

Stayed up at night twice in a row, teared up a few times. 10/10

How do I even start this review.. the heartbreak, the love story, the strong badass female role, and the crushing childhood trauma really took me on the biggest rollercoaster and I loved it. There were parts of this book that once I read it I had to put the book down and just mourn for the character or just digest what I read. I thought I wouldn’t like this book as much as the first since it tells a different character’s story but wow I was wrong. This one is definitely more heartbreaking than the last and I’m sure the next book will be even more so. There are major trigger warnings for this book.

There are major trigger warnings for this book like incest, rape, child death, suicide attempt, suicidal thoughts, blood, murder, and more. It completely caught me by surprise that she had several cases of rape and incest that she had to endure. I don’t think I could have handled it at all. Also, the fact that she finally met someone that let her have an escape from her terrible reality and got pregnant and had a daughter just for her father to kill it in front of her. I was crying for her during that part. I could not even imagine the pain and suffering she had to go through.
