Originality: 1/5
Characterization: 1/5
Classic, Fun Tropeyness: 4/5

I'm the kind of person who watches bad movies when I'm feeling down, and trope-y cliché books hit that exact same craving. This was pretty unoriginal and pretty trope-y and predictable, in all the best ways. It was fun to read, kept a decent pace, and I finished it in a few hours.

I'm not a fan of straight romance, so this story had enough fights and action scenes to keep me interested. From a Beauty and the Beast retelling to, well, any 3-trials format retelling, it was a classic trope-y mess and, yes, I mean that in a good way. If you're the type to watch cheesy terrible movies, you might enjoy this read.
