How it reads
- I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for the arc Faber Books and Netgalley. This book was phenomenal, I loved the retelling. It was such an interesting and fun read. Serlida was a fantastic lead character and Gild was adorable as well. The erlking was also a really really good villain as well, I hated him but was fascinated by him in equal measure. The cliff hanger was fantastic and I really really want a sequel, the way it ended needs a sequel
