Red by S.J. Sanders
3.0

Her hair rippled and fell in cascades of thick crimson curls around her face. A hush fell.


The Good
The world building is really interesting. Since this was a retelling I didn't know what to expect but the lore and even the build of the aliens (Ragoru) was really good and interesting. Different parts of the fairy tale were reimagined in fun ways. The triad dynamics were interesting and none of the MMC's annoyed me. (One usually does in reverse harem but these men were well written)

The Bad
By act three I felt a bit bored. I think the FMC being kidnapped for the third time was pretty annoying and less climatic because again it had already happened two other times.

The Rating
I give this book a 3/5
