This was a good read! I really loved Kiki who I saw as practically Shiori’s conscience, she’s sassy, she’s bossy and shes also smart! The relationship she and Shiori have as bestfriends I thought was adorable! I also liked seeing Shiori slowly grow into less of a princess but more of a brave warrior while on her journey to break the curse, she may not be a great fighter but she had it in her heart to protect those she loved and cared for no matter the cost. Her relationship with Takkan I thought was really so sweet, he was like a real Prince Charming and I was really rooting for them both and hoping he would know who she really was the whole time! And finding out who the real enemy was quite a surprise but it was I will say a little confusing!

I do think that the book could have been a bit shorter, and I wish we kind of had more of a connection with her brothers and her step mother, as I didn’t feel much emotional attachment to any of them. Takkan I felt more of an attachment to! I was also confused because I thought Seryu would have been more in the story but he wasn’t really and I also initially thought he was the love interest, I feel like he still could be for the second book but I don’t know, maybe there will be a choice to make when I do decide to read the next one! And as much as I loved Shiori, girl did she make me mad, LISTEN TO KIKI IN FUTURE! But then again how would she have grown if she didn’t fall into these traps!
