I absolutely loved this book! it's like King Midas but female and jewels instead of gold.

I really REALLY appreciated that the author didn't write a character placing nonstop internal blame for her gift/curse. I find that so infuriating and over used.

I loved the Dynamics of the relationship between the cursed Prince and his wife and how Will slid in. despite not being a very long book, the relationship between the three was built quickly and in a way I really enjoyed (and didn't roll my eyes at). I am so curious to see how that situation ends.

I need to know how Wil's romance will end! agh! if it's the curse doing it...I'mma be so angry and heartbroken!

I hope the next book will have some more world building and expand on the royals/rulers we met in this book. That secret princess is particularly catching my attention. There's gonna be so much questing in the sequel and I LOVE IT!

I definitely want Wil's dad and douche brother taken care of. I find they were definitely built to be big villains in the next book but I just...can't get a read on Wil:'s mom since she was in such a background role.

also...there's GOTTA be a reason for Wil's sister-in-law to have been introduced. that has to be fleshed out in book two too.
