Thanks to NetGalley and Andersen Press for this eARC. This was a delightful read. A true gothic fairytale in the truest sense of the genre. It feels much like a sapphic retelling of the classic Beauty and the Beast, and it does its job absolutely perfectly. So many gothic fantasy novels tend to fall flat in this day and age, but this one was a breath of fresh air amongst an often busy but stagnant genre. From the first page, this one was an easy read for me. It was one I didn't want to tear my attention away from, and I read it quickly, only delayed due to the fact that I, unfortunately, had to work, eat and sleep at some points during the days! Beautifully written and descriptive, the setting of the German forests in the 19th Century worked perfectly for the genre, and I was really drawn into it, The characters were complex and likeable, even when they were being cruel, or rude. The idea of love being the breaker of all curses is not a new one, but it's a trope that still lands well when it is done correctly; this novel is a true example of that. At times a little heavy on the description, which could lead to some readers finding it slow in places. Overall, I throroughly enjoyed this and would definitely read more from the author.

The pace was quite slow and the “reveal” was pretty basic. I also felt that the “romance” was a little toxic and not something I would ship.
It was ok but nothing special. ( )
