Overall, I really enjoyed this boom. I loved the Carnival/magic theme. And found it refreshing.
I found the mysterious element intriguing, and it made me want to continue reading whenever I had a free moment.
Though it is far from a typical fairytale due to the themes, I was drawn to the innocence of the FMC.
My only downside: I felt like the ending dragged out a little. But this certainly won't deter me from reading the rest of the trilogy.
Plot: 5/5
Spice: 0/5
Book boyfriend: 3/5
