I am obsessed with these books. These are just exactly what I needed to start this year off. They're the kind of book you can get completely lost in.
They are absolutely incredibly written. The detail, the setting, the atmosphere, it takes you away. It really transports you to the world you're reading about and takes you out of the world that you're sitting in.
I will say there are other books by Grace Draven I absolutely love, in particular Entreat Me, which is her retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
I do really love both of them. They take the initial premises of these like well-known fairy tales and they blend them with a very rich, very detailed fantasy landscape, fantasy world full of faeries, fearful witches, and various other magical creatures.
And I absolutely adore it. I've actually reread it twice since, so I've read this book three times. I can say it's a favorite.
It's slow-paced, it's slow-burn, and it's just really beautiful. It's just really beautiful.
And book one is perfect, as are every other book in the series. We have a few different polyamorous relationships depicted in later books. And it's just fantastic. Absolutely love it.
It's so funny. Like such a funny series. I think book one is still my favorite but they're all fantastic.
I have to say I think the duology that begins with The Faceless Women is my favorite and you can really read either first.
For me, that's why this book in the series in general is a comfort series. I find these very, very comforting books.
And I found this such a cozy, charming, adorable, humorous book. It felt very multi-layered, multi-faceted. The characters were rich and deep.
