Things I loved:
- a protagonist with a disability who is affected by their disability but not defined by it. So refreshing that she was a fully realized person
- the Rhen narrator. Honestly, the book might have been better with just him narrating the whole thing.
- believable reasoning for why someone from our world could ride a fucking horse
Things I did not love:
- How whiny the Harper narrator made her sound sometimes. It made it a lot less believable it was the same character between the narrators.
- The monster narration (so fucking creepy/scary). Could have done without that.
- The parts where it was said Harper was “not like other girls” *cue vomiting*

I like the story as a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, especially the twist about it that the author put in there. I‘m in love with Harper, the character‘s amazing - I think it‘s really well-made how her cerebral palsy is just part of her, how it just blends into everything she does without any effort in the writing visible, or how she learns to stand her ground. I also liked reading about Rhen‘s perspective, it was way better than some other two-perspective-stories I‘ve read recently, simply because it was more believable, more human.
I wish we could have seen more of Grey though, he seems like a really interesting character, but what I‘ve seen from the second book, I will get that very soon. I gotta say though, towards the second half and end of the book I still had the feeling
