I loved stepping back into this world I loved the darkness of the story I also loved the romance it was really good. I loved the characters especially Maia she is such a great character doing anything she can to protect what is left of her family even if most of them hate her and treat her horribly she doesn't believe in love because all she has seen it cause is death and pain I loved her romance with Anax I am glad she got to be free and to also fall in love and have a happy ending. I loved the plot it is a Cinderella retelling with a more dark edge with a girl protecting her family from her mother and demons Maia meets the prince and gradually falls for him so she runs away and lies but even after that in the end there is a happy ending. So overall I loved this novella it was great to be back into this world.
