so-soI understand the issues a lot of people had with this one as it does read quite young. I think it would have been received better if it had just been comped to Cinderella rather than Marissa Meyers Cinder. I did find it quite slow, but I like the promise of the series and the fairy tale aspect, so I will give book 2 a go.
bailedThis is not for me, it is very much a YA fantasy and written for a younger audience. It is very cute, but I should know better at this point after DNFing a large number of YA recently. However, I got a beautiful edition from Illumicrate so I had to check it out. DNF
Illumicrate‘s subscription book box for August 2023.
I enjoyed this ARC so much I didn‘t skip this month. 😁 I‘m so glad. It‘s a smaller YA format hardback but lovely with sprayed edges.
My very first Illumicrate box subscription arrived yesterday- the August box! I'm so happy to finally be off the waitlist! 🥹💕📚 I'm over the moon with excitement! This is the book that came with it, and I think I have desperately fallen in love with these page edges! #illumicrate
pickI didn‘t start out liking Zhara but she grows as a character pretty quick! I loved Han! Team Han!
Zhara spends her days caring for her blind half-sister & Catering to her stepmother who beats them regularly & is trying to marry off her daughter to a horrible man.
The last 1/2 of the book has a maturing Shara joining the Guardians of Dawn, looking for demons.
Zhara & Han‘s story = most interesting!
I look forward to BK 2.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Loooook at how B-E-A-U-TIFUL this cover is. 😍
