Wow! So Fairyloot had this in their May 2019 box and described it as “Cinderella meets king Arthur and Thor!” I’ve got to admit, that had me so so intrigued. I love fairytales, I have a degree in history (I know all the King Arthur theories!), and I love me some marvel movies. So how was this book going to mix all three of those things? Well, flawlessly apparently.
The story follows a girl named Selah, who is sent off on a quest to find a husband after her evil stepmother demands it. So there we have the Cinderella part, the other two parts come in the form of characters placed strategically in the story. Like fairyloot, I came up with a one sentance description of the book as well, Cinderella goes on The Bachelorette, who will get the final rose?
I am trying to be non-spoilery in my review because I really do want everyone to read this book and form their own opinions.. But I thought it was really well done. I did knock off a star because there was a bit of an “insta-love” vibe and I find that to be reallllllyyyyyy annoying. However that is mostly redeemed by the likeable characters and the believable but startling plot twists that Anna Bright conjured up for us.
Book 2, The Boundless is coming out on June 9, 2020.
