Really enjoyed this beauty and the beast retelling - cleverly captures the main events of the story while remaining true to the universe. Doesn’t feel contrived or clumsy. 

Loved our main characters and the seeming role reversals to what’s usually the tropes in romance novels. My one gripe is we are left with one gaping plot hole at the end but maybe will be touched on in later books??

overall a lovely and heartwarming read that touches on the realities of trauma, grief, and addiction.

The slowest of slow burns, and so worth it. I didn't want to put this book down, and cannot wait for the next story in the series. Wren is bullheaded and has bite to back up her bark, Boreas is the frosty king with an unsuspected heart of gold. The story is original and gripping 

(after the "stolen away to be a god/king's bride" trope)

, and the romance is a slow, slow burn - but the cute, funny moments and the epiloge we're the best.

I really didn’t like him. She was ok, but I think she could have been more. The smut parts were pretty good, but the plot……
