Must read 🏆

I haven't loved a fairy tale retelling as much as this one!! Cannot wait to buy the other books in this series.

This book was provided to me through Netgalley in return for an honest review.

I’ve loved fairy tales from a young age and I was especially obsessed with Disney movies (I might still be)… Over the years I’ve read a few retellings based on popular Disney movies/Grimm fairy tales and this one was my favorite by far. There was something unique, magical even, about Lucy’s writing.

Her characters (gender-swapped in their roles) felt real, flawed, human, and while I might have seen some typos, I still enjoyed every single moment. Ada, or Adelaide, is an average girl who steals for a living. When she is sent through a portal, on a mission in a far land, her world is turned upside-down. There is definitely more to her past and current journey that I cannot wait to learn more about.

The world Lucy created was unique, seamlessly blending the non-magical with the ‘magical’, and incorporated different fairy tales, giving you a glimpse into other characters and their possible stories. What the outcome will be is undetermined for now, but will have me investing in the next book for sure!

I am a book reviewer, preferring young adult fiction. I love reading books by indie authors most since these are the books most people don't talk about. I just started up my own blog, after having reviewed books on Amazon.
