"I read this over and over some sumer ago that the binding is almost nonexistent. This book has to be one of my favorite. It has plot twist that keeps you on your seat waiting to see what happens and you fall in love with every character and eventually you start liking the princess when you hear her story. This book is a series so you can continue reading about them. 10/10 would really recommend you to read.#action_and_adventure #adaptations #fairy_tales_and_folklore #romance #cute #fantasy_and_magic "

"I love fairytale retellings! I found this while browsing in a used bookstore looking for a new YA fantasy series like the Lunar Chronicles. While there were some references that were probably funnier to a younger crowd ("Blooming Dales" as an example), I did enjoy reading this as a quick vacation read that kept me on my toes. Some world-building involved, but it is a short trilogy based on already built worlds, so it works. #adaptations #fairy_tales_and_folklore #fantasy "
