This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I LOVED the Caraval series so I was very excited to start this series set in the same world. You can read this without reading the Caraval series but I think you would get a better understanding of one of our main characters The Prince of Hearts AKA Jacks.

Evangeline Fox is our other main character. She foolishly makes a deal with Jacks which lands her in the world of the Fates. I liked Evangeline. She is hopeful if a little naïve. She comes a long way over the course of the book and it's really lovely to see.

Jacks oh Jacks. All I wanted was to trust you but every time you make me question you. I want to root for you but you make it so damn hard. Jacks has many many layers and his true motivations are buried so deep we really don't know them.

This book had elements of many well known fairy tales thrown in. I absolutely love a fairy tale or a retelling so this is right up my street.

Full of all the magic you would expect from this author, if you enjoyed Caraval then you will love delving deeper into this world.
