Synopsis

A magical, classic fairytale reimagined… Praise for Lilly Inkwood: Once upon a time there was a princess, locked in a tower, forced to bend to her father’s will… But Celine is no ordinary princess, and she has no intention of being a damsel in distress. Celine has a lover, Hugo, whose cunning plan to rescue her is tied up in his own ambition to reclaim the lands and title that are his birthright. If only they can break the spell that binds him to the body of a cat, they will free the kingdom from the grasp of a cruel witch and live happily ever after… For the plan to succeed, they must rely on Hugo’s cousin, Philippe, to whom Celine must bind herself in marriage until Hugo can be reinstated.

Всю книгу ходять туди-сюди й розмовляють. Немає екшенц чи подій, лише інтриги, які розв'язуються відкриттям чогось нового в діалогах або появою нового персонажа. Спершу здавалося цікавим та захопливим, але потім просто набридло. Плаский світ і персонажі ніби герої з сімс, у яких всього дві-три риси......more
