“I think I might fetch you the moon if only to spare your tears again.”
Hm... This book is... kind of boring. I think this is proof that even if the writing improves, it doesn't really make a story interesting. I liked the characters, but the pacing felt off. Was this better than Shatter Me? In some aspects, yes. In others, (like entertainment), no. Also, apparently this is a Cinderella retelling? That's a bit obvious. I really liked the Persian inspired fantasy world as well. I'm interested to see where this story goes.

The book's main flaws stem from clichés of the genre (characters who desperately love each other after talking twice, a vulgar number of coincidences and far-fetched solutions, a character who stumbles and falls all the time despite being able to fight several people at the same time , etc). But that doesn't stop the book from being entertaining , interesting and really, really funny.
