I absolutely love a good fantasy book and was so excited to find this book and author. I am so pleased to say that this book met my expectations. A grand universe has been created with some fantastic characters and plot development. I sped through this story and read it in one session. It reminded me in scale of several beloved authors in my library, Sarah J Maass, Stacey Marie Brown. Just a fantastic story that I cannot wait to continue reading.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely can guarantee if it is a classic/fairy tale reimagining I will likely snatch it up to add to my library. And I couldn’t wait to get this anthology in my hands.

Suffice it to say, fellow readers, obey and heed all disclaimers. The book must be read in series order or you simply won’t appreciate the level and depth of the characters written.

I’ve truly enjoyed reading this series and getting to know the Lawson family. And this latest installment was another heartfelt ride. Cramer-Kelly does a beautiful job weaving a story together that is relatable (even if I’ve never been a music star or worked in that industry). The characters have so much heart and are beautifully crafted to make their way into the reader’s heart quickly and completely. A great story from start to finish and one I will definitely recommend.

Wow! This book was an amazing read! Every step of the way I felt like I was immersed in this story. The characters were extremely well developed. Sometimes the shifter paradigm can be overdone or just feel trampy. But Lowe does a wonderful job with this genre making everything feel very authentic and real. I loved every single page and am excited to delve further into this series. Loved it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beautiful cover and intriguing synopsis had me adding this to my “hurry and read” list. This author is new to me and I was eager to be introduced what I anticipated to be a highly emotional read.

All of that to say, while I enjoyed the premise and felt myself get invested quickly, I as quickly found myself frustrated with the characters much as I would a friend, wondering why they would do what they did. In that way, I applaud the author for making the characters relate to me on a level that I was invested and questioning them, not sitting removed from the plot not caring what happened next.

Overall, I found it to be intriguing and attention grabbing. I look forward to reading more in the series.
