Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer
5.0

REREAD:
Yeah I'm sorry. I still really like this book. It's cheesy and sweet and dark.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I am super shocked at how low this book is rated (3.35 stars as of me writing this) and how few ratings (412) there are for a YA fairytale retelling with a gorgeous cover and that was in a subscription book box.

Anyways...

Holy crap! I loved this book way more than I was anticipating. The love triangle was so well done and the sister's relationship that kinda mimicked the villain and her twin was so beautiful. One of the sisters is blind so I automatically thought she would be dependent on others but she takes the lead while you slowly see others less noticeable disabilities take effect. If you liked the Lunar Chronicles, pick this up! I'm excited for the sequel now.

I really didn't see any girls hating girls for stupid reasons and its got some diversity with one of the main characters being blind
