Look, I’m going to be honest here. This series is the Disney princess stories you didn’t know you needed. I am shocked these books haven’t been picked up for a show or movie yet. Marissa Meyer weaves a complex narrative that brings together all the different roles these main characters play effortlessly. Cress was a single day reading of 550 pages and I do not regret a single thing. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this series until just recently. It’s phenomenal and you should absolutely start reading it! (And always have the next book ready to go, Meyer loves a good cliffhanger!)
