I thought this book was such a soild read. I loved the wintery setting. I read this right around winter and V day and loved it. I think I enjoyed book 2 more then book 1 and that was largely thanks to the characters. I also liked the magical elements that enchanced this story even it was not the focus. I also really liked the fairy tale that was featured in this read. I thought it was super fast pace read and one that reminded me of reading a list novels as kid but much better character arcs, it also had elements that reminded me of toyko ever after!! I liked this book much more and will def read more in this series!
