Received an ARC for this book.
I have to say.. I absolutely loved it!
I’m so used to books about Fae with all the characters being perfect and it was such a nice change to read this one where characters are flawed and make me not feel like I’m some unattractive being in comparison.
The FMC was a delight in terms of attitude and in terms of her ‘flaws’.
It’s time for scars, skin conditions and pain conditions to be acknowledged by all.
Her predicament was intriguing, but I was left puzzled as to why exactly she was cursed to begin with?
The romance element of this story was an enemies to lovers, it’s a short story, so there’s only so much pace you can set within that time, so it’s a little fast. I’d say more like a dislike to lovers perhaps?
There’s a little smut, at the end. I wasn’t expecting it in a short book so was surprised, but very much enjoyed.
Some of the plot was quite interesting, and I wish the book had been longer to go over it all more thoroughly, because I really did enjoy learning about the different gods, and was left curious about different things.
Also.. leaving us on a cliffhanger.. how very dare you.
This is probably one of the shortest stories I’ve read, but it’s also the best.
It gives me Little Mermaid vibes in some aspects. if you know you know.
Solid 4* for this one, will recommend.
