Last night I was looking through K.A. Riley’s books and got this violent urge to read Thrall. It would not go away, no matter what I did, so I dropped everything and read it. The entire book. And it was awesome.

I love books based on fairytales and Thrall is a dystopian (enemies to lovers!) romance based on Cinderella that goes in a really fun direction.

The world building and the concept of the Tethered was intriguing from the very start and I really enjoyed experiencing Kravan along with Shara as she left the Tower for the first time. I loved that Shara is feisty and inquisitive in a world that wants her to shut up and be a harmless little maid.
The enemies to lovers relationship Shara has with Thorne was satisfying and I am beyond happy the miscommunication trope did not make an appearance. Also, as someone who prefers f/f spice, Thrall had one of the only m/f spicy scenes I’ve read that I didn’t make me wish I was reading something sapphic instead 😂

There was a fun twist I thought I had figured out but I totally did not, so that was cool. And then the book ended not with a heavy cliffhanger but with a promise of an exciting sequel, which I immediately downloaded, then crashed because I’d been up all night reading.
