Would I recommend this book?
I would recommend this book if you like dark fantasy retellings.
It is similar to [b:Beauty and the Beast|50245118|Beauty and the Beast (Timeless Fairy Tales, #1)|K.M. Shea|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1577932365l/50245118._SY75_.jpg|27534886], [b:Stain|34842208|Stain|A.G. Howard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1518038216l/34842208._SX50_.jpg|56074713] and [b:An Enchantment Of Thorns|57221408|An Enchantment Of Thorns (A Court of Fairy Tales #1)|Helena Rookwood|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1614413639l/57221408._SY75_.jpg|89561975].
Will I continue reading this series?
They switch sisters and I am uninterested in Aika in [b:Of Glass and Ashes|56861136|Of Glass and Ashes (Twisted Pages, #3)|Elle Madison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611784006l/56861136._SY75_.jpg|88894482] or the future Melodi stories. I might change my mind one day but at the moment I will leave there series with this book. I love a beauty and beast retelling, and other retellings have to work twice as hard to capture my attention.
Will I re-read this book?
Maybe. I liked this book and the romance and might pick it up if I want a quick comfort re-read.
