This book renewed my love for fairytales. I also enjoyed how Sunday's sibling have backstories that are references to other fairytales (Princess and the Pea, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel (blink and ya miss it), etc). The family relationship between Sunday and Trix is so heartwarming because I love when siblings get along in stories/media. Also, the austere mother, Seven Woodcutter, was easily one of the most interesting characters.

The story was fluffy and cute in the beginning. I enjoyed the friendship among Rumbold, Erik, and Velius. They were true friends and never missed a moment to roast him.

Apparently, Rumbold had a blind spot or blackout of a year where he started wilding and these guys still stuck by him no matter what atrocities he had probably done

Yes, instalove is most definitely present, but this is a fairytale so it's expected. I hated when the focus ultimately shifted from Sunday and her lover.

Toward the middle (after the transformation and godmothers are revealed), the story jumped the shark for fairytale standards. There were just too many plot points. It got to be too much and too bloody with the magic, estranged sisters, Rumbold's crusty daddy, the King, and etc.

Best characters: Velius, Seven Woodcutter, Trix
