I’m speechless, honestly. This exceeded all of my expectations. It was freaking BRILLIANT and I’m completely obsessed. One of the best retellings I’ve ever read, without a doubt. Top three, easily. Alyce and Aurora’s dynamic, the world-building, the intrigue and intensity of the plot… I’m in awe of it all. I was so happy  when the romance blossomed, only to end up in a near-constant state of panic for the last fifty pages. The fact that this is only Walter’s debut is astonishing. I’m looking very forward to the sequel and whatever she writes next.
