Despite being loosely based on the tale of Snow White, I was struck by how original it is and how much I enjoyed it.The medium pace gives just the right balance of character development and action. Astrid and Torben are the strongest characters I've come across for awhile. They have highs, lows, and magic I haven't seen a thousand times before. I absolutely love Astrid's character growth and her magic is the most interesting I've seen.As for the romance, it is to die for. Slow-burn, enemies to lovers, with an incredibly sweet ending (and some spice!).𝓣𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓰𝓮𝓻 𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰: 𝓐𝓭𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓲𝓼𝓼𝓾𝓮𝓼.

This was such a fun read. A really cute slow burn enemies to lovers with a touch of steam, loved the dynamic between the two MCs. Looking forward to reading more by this author!

Thank you to the author for this early review copy, pretty much read it in one sitting! Absolutely loved this book. It's set in a fantasy world, but there is something innately believable about the characters that makes it so much easier to feel what they feel as you're reading. For me, this is always the most important part - it doesn't matter if the story is smashing, if you can't believe the characters are living it, it just falls flat for me. Luckily this fabulous book ticks both boxes - awesome character development and great story. The chemistry between Astrid and her Huntsman is hot hot hot!I just really can't get enough of this author's writing.

Thanks to the author for providing an early copy for review. Astrid and Torben have an amazing chemistry. The story was so sweet and heartwarming. I love the clever twist on the fairytale, all the elements are here, but given a completely new life and I'm here for it!

I've enjoyed all of Tessonja's Fae Isles books, but I have to admit this one didn't grip me the same way. The story itself is really interesting, with lots of twists that keep you guessing right til the end. I loved the way the secondary plots came together at the end to blend in with the main ending. There were a couple of scenes early in the book which felt a little forced, but the relationship between the main characters came together really well eventually. Just when you think you've predicted the plot, it takes you on a detour and you can't help second guessing. There was a lot of dialogue, and I think that's what let the book down for me, a lot of the big plots where revealed in conversation with the main characters rather than through action and description so it was a little harder to follow. I would still recommend reading this if you have enjoyed the others in this series.
