This book has been on my TBR since it was published because, honestly, I love the cover! I found myself seeking out more walks, errands and cleaning this past week so I could listen to more of this story and I loved everything; the adventures, the characters and the Asian mythology tone. I‘m looking forward to the next installment of the story.

It was the event of the season—a royal ball in King George‘s palace that every eligible maiden had been invited to attend.
And Cinderella couldn‘t believe she was going.
One dance, she promised herself, watching the palace draw near from within her carriage.

Thank you for all of the goodies! I‘m obsessed with the apple cinnamon tea. I‘ve already had three cups this morning. 😂 I also need you to teach me how to wrap presents because your wrapping skills are immaculate!

I love it when bad people get what they deserve. I do feel sad when some who aren‘t guilty wind up as collateral damage though. Maddy was a hero, a victim, and a villain depending on who you talked to. She was easy to root for. This story is about identity, not hiding who you truly are, and the sad reality that many people in society will never take accountability for their wrongdoings, instead painting the victim as a villain. 4.5⭐️s!

A million thanks to @merelybookish for tipping me off to the existence of this book. Such a cozy read that made me feel nostalgic for college and provided a temporary escape from reality. If only ghosts and lit courses were my biggest concerns these days. 😁 I‘m likely going to read this again at some point.

rubyslippersreads I‘ve had this on my TBR list for ages. 3d
merelybookish I'm so glad you enjoyed! Makes me think I need to reread it too! 3d

Grateful for the Litsy member who suggested this. I really enjoyed the imagined anger of Penelope. There were more women's perspectives than in The Silence of the Girls, including the goddesses, but I appreciated Barker's writing a tad bit more. Of course, Song of Achilles is incomparable. Hope I can find some more Homer retellings.

TheBookHippie I liked this one so much. 3d

“Presenting Princess Elsa of Arendelle!”
Elsa stepped out of the shadow of her parents and into the sun. Her people were waiting, welcoming her presence in the village square with thunderous applause.
