All Solae wants is to be accepted and loved by the family that has always rejected him. But given it was his late mother who cursed the kingdom to eternal winter, the chances of that happening are minimal. If he can find a way to break the curse, however, surely that would be enough to change their minds regarding him.
But Solae is forbidden to practice magic because of his mother, which limits his ability to pursue solutions. Desperate for advice and new ideas, he contacts a famous curse breaker—and has no idea what to do when the unexpectedly shows up, handsome and friendly and dangerously intriguing.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
I can't believe I'm writing this, but I didn't enjoy this book. One written by Megan Derr. She's usually my go to author for a good tale especially a fairy tale with a twist.
However this one just felt short and cheap. We were cheated out of a proper justice ending and that just left me feeling disappointed and cross. Add in the stupid characters not getting any comeuppance, no real plot and the writing feeling thin and we are left with a short story that feels really hastily written without any of the care or thought that Megan is usually really good at.
Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come and the next book from Ms Derr will reaffirm my love for her stories.
