Masterful Storytelling and Delightful Performance!
I picked this book from NetGalley based on the magnificent cover and the promise that it's a cross between The Selection and Aladdin, both that I love. The wonderful surprise was that I found it FAR better than either! The writing is incredible, the pace is perfect, the characters are unique and fully flesh out to the point I felt I knew them, can see and hear them. I went on to buy the audiobook (for only an extra $7.49...a steal IMO) and also bought the paperback (absolutely gorgeous), before going on to purchase and pre-order every book I could find of this series and author. That was how much I loved this book!
The narration is superb, with the narrator's voice so sweet, fresh and expressive. She did a perfect job with Ada, the heroine, exactly as I imagined her voice and character in my head. She also did an incredible job with every other character. Every time she did Cherine, I burst out laughing! Her pacing is spot on and I could listen to her for hours (which I did...and have since re-listened and I can't wait for the rest of the series audiobooks!)
This is the YA fantasy novel I'd been hoping to find, with a protagonist who is versatile, resilient, witty and compassionate, and with very healthy female relationships when Ada befriends her so-called rivals. As for the hero, Cyrus is what every girl and woman should look for, a love interest who is both manly and gentlemanly as well as capable, courageous, fun and kind.
This is a book I wholeheartedly recommend in all its formats to everyone who loves fantasy with immaculate world building, YA with complex characters and clean romance between protagonists who are admirable and share perfect chemistry. For me, this is an author to follow from now on, whatever she writes, and I hope she becomes the bestseller she deserves to be. Give her a try today. You'll be glad you did.

Great story! Gripping plot! Annoying voices.
Such a fun sTory! I’ve never read an Aladdin retelling before and so it was new and exciting. I loved seeing the other fairytale characters pop up. My one complaint is with the narrator- she did an amazing job narrating Ada’s thoughts, but her other voices were annoying. They were either high and squeaky or deep and slow. Apart from the voices though, I loved this book! I’ve already devoured the second one LOL!
