What a delightful surprise! Wickedly Ever After is witty, whimsical, and full of chaotic fairy tale energy. It’s a love letter to twisted fairytales with a self-aware narrator and a heroine who’s anything but a damsel in distress. The tone is perfectly snarky and lighthearted, with enough heart to keep things grounded.

I laughed out loud multiple times, especially during the banter-filled scenes. The magic system is a bit wild and unhinged in the best way. Pure escapist fun.

✨ Humour level: Sharp, clever, and just the right amount of absurd

This was a cute fairy tale remix! The gnome love story subplot was my favorite part.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc! Opinions are my own.
