Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me a free copy of this advanced copy of the book to read and review.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
A interesting idea behind this story. However, the writing is extremely young and lacking in structure. It is not very well thought through. The characters are OK and reasonably likable. But this story is not a page turner and not very engaging.
An OK read.

I absolutely loved this story's world! The princess is unable to access her kingdom, locked away in the normal world! I loved how Elodie's curse keeps her from gaining what is rightfully hers....her throne.

This was a completely engrossing story that keeps you glued to the pages to see what happens next. I think it's the perfect story for readers that enjoy YA fairytale fantasy stories!

I was provided a gifted copy of this book. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

I tried. I really did. I loved the first chapter (the psychologist in me loves any mentions of mental illness), but as soon as she goes to Twoshy I lost interest. I put it down for a few days then tried again. When that didn’t work, I put it down for a few more days. When I picked it up today it felt like work to read. And it’s not that I’m in a slump, since I’m reading (and finishing) other books in between those breaks.

The concept is great. The character, Eloide, is relatable and likable. The writing is done well, although definitely for a younger crowd (low middle grade I would say). But I just couldn’t read it past 20%. I have no idea why other than it just wasn’t for me. And I HATE saying that, especially when I do connect with similar books.

That being said, I am definitely in the minority. It has numerous positive reviews already and I think this is something my daughter will enjoy in a few years (she’s currently 8).

I just loved this book.
The story is so unique and interesting and I read it in like 2 days which is a quick read for me as I'm a very slow reader. This book just had me hooked right from the beginning and I really enjoyed it.
Overall it was a fun read and Can't wait for the next book.
