Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
1.5 stars, rounded up.
This book started interestingly enough. Ella lives with a terribly predatory man, and no longer wants to be a maid. All well and good. She sees a mysterious woman and is given the opportunity for 7 wishes in exchange for her soul. Ella, who has done nothing but complain and wish for better life without actively trying to get one, thinks: “Surely I will not use all these wishes!” Questionable, but okay.
Ella is frustrating. She claims to care about the maids but fails to show that care in any way. Ella doesn’t grow much at all and remained selfish and greedy. The ending was not satisfying in any way, shape, or form. The writing felt repetitive and bordered on tedious at times. The execution of this was not fantastic.
