I liked the pacing of this book a lot more than it's predecessors. I found the stepmother to be relatable until I got to the end of the book. I just feel like there's more character development that could be happening. I wish the author could have gone more into the domestic abuse that was occurring, how strong the stepmother was to go through that, and how the stepsisters were affected. I felt like it was wasted potential.
