“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time”

loved the retelling of cinderella in a cool way! Cinder is a great female character and I actually like the romance!

only negative is two things
- transphobic joke??? I couldn't tell if it was or not
- writing felt very basic. not always a bad thing, just wanted a little bit more

i thought i would enjoy this book, but i was mostly just bored and disappointed. i think i would have liked it more if i didn't read tons of fantasy books, this book just doesn't compare to others i've read

the only thing i liked about it was that the main character (and author) have cerebral palsy, and i liked how that was included in the story. definitely read the authors note if you ever pick this up

rather than that everything else felt very ok, i actually enjoyed the 100 pages tho those were exiting

this book literally has to be one of my favorite reads this year...... SO GOOD‼️
i love how it's so fast paced and all of the characters are super enjoyable, everything i need in a book

i got the entire series from the library......but i'm seriously debating buying all the books just so i can have them and obsess over them again

this book felt so unnecessary and forced. Even though I love Day and June they DID NOT need to be together in the end. I felt like the author only wrote this book too make the fans happy, which isn't always a good thing.

The only good thing was Eden, pretty funny and was enjoyable. Wanted more of him!

(4.5)
What A amazing book! from the lavish descriptions to the Chinese Mythology elements packed in the book, there is really a lot too love here. The writing really kept me engaged and loved the different POVs that we got
in the book. The only reason it's not a full five stars is that I wish the ending was longer! The ending was definitely the best part and I can't believe it was only a couple of chapters! Anyways, read this book if you love Romeo and Juliette, Stars, and some rebellious kids.

Thanks to Netgalley and Publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

i'm a real sucker for morally grey/villain characters, so i really liked this book

the only bad thing was it got a little slow in the middle, and some of the character motives didn't make sense to me. that's the only negatives tho, overall i really loved it

i know i give 5 stars to a lot of books but i REALLY mean it for this one.

(btw, the second book in the series was over a 6 week wait at my library

“Zoya of the lost city. Zoya of the garden. Zoya bleeding in the snow. You are strong enough to survive the fall”

I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED THIS BOOK IN MY LIFE UNTILL NOW. lots of peoples say that this book is boring, but I found it so fun and exciting. Zoya is 100% my favorite character

GO TOO HELL THE DARKLING
