&quot;To me, I feel this this book was the least likeable book within the series.<br /><br />Zora was truly psychotic and deranged. She's extremely obsessed with Katie and has been stalking her for years. That's already at creepy weird level. She's also extremely violent, temperamental and sadistic. She kills anyone she wants because she feels she can. I just have no sympathy for people like that and wouldn't even care if she got killed herself.<br /><br />I just couldn't relate to or like someone like that. She also says she hates men but she acts like a man, dresses like a man and looks like a man. She's practically emulating the very thing she despises. To each their own I suppose.<br /><br />Katie while for the greater part of her life, was unfortunately used and abused by her family, friends and everyone else is probably why she's masochistic.<br /><br />There wasn't any real love except perhaps mad obsessive love but there was a lot of sex and lust which is understandable given the title.<br /><br />Overall it was a rather slow read for me since most of the book was focused on the psychotic sadistic and obsessive thoughts of Zora which wasn't really enjoyable as much as it's supposed to.<br /><br />Thank you to the author and Booksirens for the free ARC. Opinions here are my own.&quot;

  <br/>


        Eve is almost seventeen, she’s a princess, she’s the right-hand woman of her mother, Queen Regina, the ruler of a small queendom, and she has a big problem: An evil, cruel knight has tyrannized the whole population for a long time already by tricking them into making a wish and then satisfying it in the most cruel way possible. He has even turned Eve’s other mother, Queen Sanaa, into a bird. But after having been trained her entire life to fight and kill him, Eve is a weapon in human form, and she can’t wait to face him and hunt him down. Then all of a sudden, she finds out that Queen Regina, her beloved mother, has made a pact with the Knight – a pact that has something to do with Eve herself …<br />After Cinderella is Dead, this novel is another young adult fantasy book by Kalynn Bayron that features numerous elements of well-known fairy tales, but with a twist. It seems to me as if the author had taken several familiar set pieces, shaken and stirred them to compose a completely new fairy tale with a very fresh approach. Eve is no defenseless female fairytale figure, but a strong, rebellious Black girl with a lot of combative spirit who’s fully able to fight for herself and the people she cares for.<br />Again a refreshingly modern and decidedly feminist novel for young and not-so-young readers.

  <br/>


        Aisling, called Ash, is still a little girl when her beloved mother dies, and her father marries another woman, who’s hard-hearted and cruel, with two daughters. But then her father dies as well, and soon Ash’s evil stepmother makes her life a misery. As a consolation, Ash visits her mother’s grave as often as possible. Sometime she realizes that her mother had good relations with the fairy world.<br />So far, so good – we all know the Cinderella story. But this tale is not the fairytale written down by the Brothers Grimm, but rather a new, autonomous story with characters that seem to be of flesh and blood. Although she tends to be a little passive sometimes, Ash is a young woman with her own feelings, her own thoughts and a will of her own, who is torn between two worlds. And between a man and a woman …<br /><br /><br /><br />** spoiler alert **<br /><br />I’m not sure if Malinda Lo has written the fairy man who allures Ash as such an ambivalent character on purpose. Although he comes across as beautiful and fascinating, he’s still scary, and while he claims to “love” Ash, he still blackmails her – she even has to spend the night (i. e. have sex) with him before he lets her go! The author doesn’t maintain sufficient critical distance from her subject here, that is, toxic masculinity – or maybe it was just not evident enough for my taste. So that was really not my thing.<br /><br /><br /><br />As for the rest:<br />In all, this book is a well-written and fascinating retelling of the famous Cinderella folk tale and an interesting queer young adult fantasy novel.
