I was hooked from the beginning! I didn't think I would love this as much as I did. It seemed like this would be like every other fantasy, prince steals girl story but all of the little things really defined it and made it stand out for me. This stood out to me as a war-time Beauty and the Beast retelling and I loved every second of it. The way the Emberfall citizens rallied to support Rhen & Harper made me cry on multiple occasions😂
