I’m not sure how to start describing this book.
Firstly, it’s a Rapunzel retelling with some very dark elements. I do enjoy how well the author has represented addiction and then the comedown/after effects.
I did however leave the book with more questions than answers. I’m still not entirely sure who everyone is, what race of magical thing they are (fae, werewolf, vampire, all of the above, who knows cos it certainly isn’t me!).
There seems to be numerous plot points that aren’t just cliffhangers, the entire *cliff* is missing.
However, I loved the vibes and it certainly has promise, so even after all that will I read book 2? Yes absolutely, I need me the answers I seek!
