A heavily mythological story about a girl named Nyx. She is born into a family where her entire life has been devoted towards marrying the Gentle Lord because her father made a bargain with him. On her seventeenth birthday she sets off to be married; not only is it her mission to be married to him, but also she must destroy the Gentle Lord in order to free the land where she lives, Arcadia. It’s a fascinating read, and the plotline is fairly entertaining. If you’re a fan of myths, and Greek culture, it’s a great read for that. The romance theme in this novel is also seen a lot, and proves how strong love can be. It kind of resembles Beauty and The Beast in some ways, the fact the Gentle Lord is a demon and is seen as a monster is like the beast, but Nyx still sees the good in him. The ending of the novel takes quite the turn, but it’s still really well written. Overall, it was a great novel on love even though the plot dwindled at times.
Imagine a mix of Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and Howl's moving castle in one book. The world Rosamund creates is ridiculously wonderful. The whole book is a huge riddle that keeps you guessing and despite the main characters' flaws I couldn't help but still love them because it made them more real. My only qualm is sometimes I was confused on the rules, riddles,house, and why she could or couldn't do certain things (sorry if that's very vague, but I'm trying to stay away from spoilers) But I guess that comes with reading a book where you have no idea how things work.
Wow! Super good! The end was a bit confusing but I loved it!
Loved it
