Fallen Beauty - A beautiful and gothic fairytale [ARC review from NetGalley]
Rating 5 ⭐️
This book was an absolute journey from start to finish, accomplishing what it needed without overstaying its welcome. An absolute perfect example of what a standalone should be.
I loved the chilling atmosphere and the high stakes it presented as our main character began to learn and piece together secrets about the kingdom in which she lives. It truly had me guessing and piecing together information from beginning to end.
The relationship between our main character and Prince Kelter was sweet to experience as they grew to love and trust each other more and more as the story progressed. While I would not categorize it as enemies to lovers, there is some tension as we learn more about there prince's ultimate desires and goals.
The action was expertly paced and kept me on my toes as well, with not one page being wasted. Everything felt intentional and kept the story moving along.
