A Cinderella retelling? Yes please! It's a tale that's been told so many times and in so many different ways, and I loved this one too. Ellie was already royalty, Princess Gabriella of Solea, but after her kingdom was attacked and her father captured, she had to disguise herself as a maid in the enemy kingdom of Lune. I loved that twist.

I also felt like it had a Beauty and The Beast element to it in that Prince Wesley of Lune had to wear a mask and his curse would only be broken if someone fell for him as he was and not because of his title before his twenty-first birthday.

Wesley was such an incorrigible flirt, always making it his mission to annoy Ellie and distract her from her worries and fears. The clock was ticking on his life, but he was patient with her all the same.

I kept turning the pages just to see what would happen next. It was also wonderful to see other characters from book one. I'm so excited to read about the rest of the royals
