Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This story is a tale full of woe and cosplay. Fans of the iconic Princess Cinderella and sci-fi geeks alike will turn into romantics after reading this fun and semi-tragic love story. Although, if you aren’t a fan of fairy-tale spin-offs or damsels in distress, then this book isn’t for you. I had some major issues with this book, from the slow pacing to the characteristic flaws in Elle. I know this is a Cinderella retelling, but I had a hard time getting over the whole ‘helpless princess’ trope. I was okay with her unwillingness to stand up for herself in the beginning, hoping we would see a grand reveal of the fighter underneath. But I was disappointed when Elle continued to give up on herself and her beliefs. Maybe it is just the feminist in me or the fact that I’m surrounded (and constantly inspired) by strong women, but it frustrated me when Elle wouldn’t stand up for herself.

Ah, the age-old question every book lover likes to argue over: “E-book or Physical copy?” I can’t tell you how many times I have seen different variations of this question among the social media sites but no matter how you phrase it, it’s still a huge debate.

Anyway, there is that obstacle and plus I personally would love to have a library in my house one day. One that the whole family and I can enjoy with plenty of natural sunlight and a coffee/tea maker on the side with lots of comfy ...
So, I decided to tell you guys a little bit about myself through book related stuff, so you can get to know me a little better. So, let’s just jump right in! I would really love to be in Dauntless but I’m probably more Erudite. (Divergent by Veronica Roth) I’m a SLYTHERIN!!! Yeah! My patronus is a white swan I always have at least two books on me at all times I will read anywhere and everywhere (No joke) I usually like to get all my reading done during the day, I’m not a huge night owl (Unless it comes to a read-a-thon, then I never sleep) The first booktuber I ever watched was Katytastic I’m not quite sure which book or series got me into reading, but I know I love it now! ...
