They'd made a mistake, the men who wronged her. The forces which conspired to belittle her, a woman born to be nothing but a prize or a pawn, had been the tide that turned her into what she was.

OBSESSED WITH THIS! Read it in one sitting! Olivie Blake's writing is just too good. Elisabeth is one of the most badass characters I've read. It's hard to do a fantasy novella and not feel like you wish it had been longer. Obviously I loved this so I would've totally read more pages, but the story felt complete and not like it was too short.

As always I love Olivie Blake’s writing and her commitment to asking what if girls got to be a little evil as a treat? Ultimately I wanted this to be longer. I feel like if the story had more time to cook, more time for readers to revel in the mystery and the danger, it would’ve been better. Overall, still a compelling read that I couldn’t put down.
