100/5 stars

Now, I am a big Critical Role fan. I loved recognizing the names, places, and things that exist in Exandria! But did this also hit all my favorite romance tropes anyway? YES.

My perfect romance cocktail includes:
- Grumpy x Sunshine
- Travel
- One bed (and it happened twice)
- Heroics
- Sheltered girl finding her independence
- Smoldering sex scenes

Shake well, add in some humor and mystery, and we have Tusk Love!! While this does have one trope I hate (third act breakups), I didn't mind it too much. It felt natural, not forced. And made the ending all the sweeter. The romance in this book is INSANE. The chemistry, the pining, the teaching each other and bring out the best in one another? UNMATCHED. This is THE romance. 

I need about 4,263 more books describing Guinevere and Oskar's adventures, thanks. 

Edit 9/4/21: I preordered a copy of the Fairyloot edition!! SO EXCITED!

Edit 2/25/21: THE COVER IS SO PRETTY OH MY GOODNESS!!! AND THE BLURB!!!

Rumpelstiltskin retelling? By Marissa Meyer???

YES!!!

ON HOLD.

I just need to get out of my reading slump more, and its also NaNo month so I ain't got time for this book. Sorry yall.

Oh shit I forgot I was reading this like 6 MONTHS AGO.

Oops.

Hey yall I'm back tho!

DNF page 91

The absolute character ASSASSINTATION of Theron and Meira is too much. Also, once I realized Mather's chapters are in 3rd person past tense while Meira's is 1st person present tense, I just CAN'T GO ON.
