Depends how much you care about sm.. I mean romance? And how much about the story?

It’s fun. I was in a long (for me) book slump and I just wasn’t inspired by my TBR. I had some huge life changes and wasn’t dealing well with anxiety and depression and I thought maybe a fairy tale retelling would get me back into reading again. This was pre-BookTok and all the books weren’t even out so I went in sort of blind. They are really engaging with lots of drama and romance with a dash of fae lore, Beauty and the Beast and some Greek mythology. Is it amazing world building and fantasy politics written by the greatest wordsmith of our time? No. But if you just want some sexy escapist fae romance with lots of good vs evil then it’s good for that.

It really depends on your reading taste. What other books have you enjoyed recently?

I honestly genuinely enjoyed the series, but no romance/fantasy series is completely immune to a little corny writing! I say yes, worth the hype and worth the read. It has a good mix of comedy, romance, angst, with characters that all feel like someone you’d know personally.
