Fantastic retelling with interesting twists
This was a fantastic Cinderella retelling with some amazing twists. I have to admit some of them took me by surprise there at the end!
I loved Eden and her growth in this book, fantastic development there. Her use of magic was fun and interesting and different from book 1 which was great.

“Get the shoes, get the guy, and get revenge.”
i still felt it was too rushed like the previous book when the secret was finally revealed, and honestly it's quite boring too. i seriously don't feel any chemistry between Eden and Dorian, or even Eden and Evander, nothing at all. also, every time i read Dorian praise Eden with 'good girl' i cringe so hard, i don't like it, no, i hate it! i'm fine if it's only a few times, but i keep seeing it almost every time they're together, i just feel like it's not necessary at all, i mean the sparrow nickname is already cute, so why keep adding 'good girl' too?
anyway, i do quite enjoyed it, i guess... but i'm not sure whether to continue the series or not, there's still like 5 books next. well, we'll see 🙂

This series is so fun, I’m loving them. Eden was really relatable in feeling like she’s not as good as her sisters, she always feels like a watered down version and doesn’t believe that she’s capable. That being said I was rooting for her and like no girl you can do it. She just needed a little belief in herself.
I really like how they always set out with the intention of destroying a kingdom and somehow end up finding themselves a happily ever after.
And Dorian…I’m complete Dorian trash, take me away you handsome, roguish man.

I really had fun reading this retelling of Cinderella. A lot of laughs and some teary eyed moments. Though I did have a little problem and it was with the glamorizing. I just couldn’t get a grip on how it all worked because sometimes it seemed like she fully became the person/creature and others it was like nothing actually happened to her and it was all in the person’s mind. So I wish the workings of Eden’s glamour was explained a bit better. But I definitely can’t wait to read the next book with my best friend. Because we are having so much fun buddy reading this series.
