Poor writing. Slow plot. I’m so bored and the chemistry currently there feels forced

Really loved the storyline here. The world is very detailed and the banter between characters is amazing. I love the details and distinction between the different Fae realms.

This is a Beauty and The Beast retelling but with a why choose trope. I really enjoyed my read of this novel. There are some problematic themes of course especially with it being a Beauty and The Beast retelling. I liked the distinction between the Princes with them representing the seasons and their personalities seeming to reflect the feelings of the seasons as well. I liked seeing the strength that Rosalina develops but she is very naïve and I found that a little frustrating because she was a girl that was in a Fae Realm going headfirst into things she didn't understand. There were such beautiful moments as well like "One must be fearless to love, and to let oneself be loved. Love in itself is a leap of faith."
