Let's start by saying I was absolutely swooning with this one and fell head over heels for our main character, Finnian. In this Cinderella retelling, we have fae and a slowburn. Everything is shrouded in a tinge of mystery, keeping you sucked in for the long haul. We also get a found family to die for with Queen Honora and Irina they are both such strong women and are everything Elora needed after being stuck with her terrible step-mother and her daughters after the tragic passing of her father. But let's not forget our trusty steed, Major! I am convinced that the horse would do anything for any of the women in Finnians life.
There is some darkness to this that I felt really complimented the story and left your heartbreaking for everyone that comes in contact with Jasper, making you want to handle him through the pages. But with so much on the line, Finnian steps up and becomes the man everyone needs him to be. Even if he is a little possessive a tinge violent when someone touches or speaks about "his wife" and has a affinity for grabbing necks which I am on the fence if I loved or was a slight red flag....lol
The spice is wonderful 😍 I would say moderate to high 🌶🌶🌶

I don't want to give too much away because the last 10% of this book was a wild ride, but I will leave you with some quotes.
"For you, my darling, I would kill him with my bare hands"
"I am growing rather tiresome of men seeing me as nothing more than something to he used for their benefit. It doesn't matter whether he's human or fae; I will always be seen as disposable to them. Why did it take me being loved by one to be respected?
"My enemy by birth-my heart by fate"
"I am your light, but you are my dream realized,
