“…𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐, 𝑰 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘. 𝑰𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆.”

You know what I love? A reformed playboy that gets completely knocked on his ass by a a woman that is utterly unimpressed with him. And this book presented that on a silver platter 🙌🏼

Tee is an expert at weaving together well known fairytales and making them her own, and 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘴𝘵 is no exception. I loved being reunited with characters from 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘴 (specifically Driscoll) and seeing Lochlan stumble through learning who he is without the burden of everyone’s perception of the playboy prince. Poppy was equal parts timid and headstrong, and it was fun watching her push through to figure out who she could be away from her Gran’s shadow. 

The threat from the Shadow Court is still imminent, and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series and which stories Tee has to tell for the rest of Arathia!
