Page count: 371

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spicy: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Don’t let the name fool you, this series has nothing to do with any works written by Sarah J. Maas. Instead, this author uses this series to write retellings of classic stories/tales and for this one she chose the nutcracker.

In this story, two sisters Claire and Louisa enter into the fae world on a journey with a cursed nutcracker prince and a sugarplum fae in the hopes of saving the prince from being a nutcracker permanently as well as stopping the rat king from his evil deeds. Along the way, both sisters experience a romance and make discoveries about themselves that they may have not been aware of in their own world.

Tune in to find out more in this well-known story as it takes on a new dimension regarding misogyny/sexism, sex positivity, and more.

The only thing that I wished was that the pov’s for the male main characters (Lir and Fin) were present like they are in the hardcover version. Guess that means I’ll have to consider making this purchase in the near future 😊.

Though he appeared to be but an ordinary man, enchantment cling to him. It dripped his voice, seeped out from under his skin and whispered around his eyes.
