"This is one of my favourite records to listen to on vinyl when I'm at home. You don't have to worry about skipping songs, side a, it's all great, turn over to b, it's all great. It's very rare that you find records that you can listen to all the way through like that. The first time I heard this I was like 'wow, this is the greatest record'. There is a very romantic feel to the songs. Obviously the Joy Division comparisons were coming right away but I soon got over that and heard them for who they are, they really have their own voice and I dug it. I think it really captures the spirit of New York. I grew up listening to a lot of British rock and pop music, and when I heard this it gave me vibrations from that."

"The easiest choice. The greatest of movies. Never has a film been so formally rich and so teeming with life. Jean Renoir’s romantic roundelay is as fluid and multifaceted as the characters he depicts with equal doses of compassion and bemusement, and this depiction of the mercurial nature of human behavior, of the beauty and absurdity of civilization, has never been equaled. The Dance of Death is the greatest sequence, but it’s also a dance of life. For many years, the film was literally unavailable in an acceptable print or video version in this country. For a showing several years ago (before the recent Janus Films rerelease), the Museum of the Moving Image had to import a 35 mm print from England. And as though it isn’t enough to be able to own a masterfully restored copy, the Criterion DVD has a great documentary about Renoir by Jacques Rivette!"

Have I mentioned how much I love Fairy Tales?

Well, I really do, especially clean, romantic, mentality stimulating, and engaging ones. Beholden hits all the right notes for me. The quote I shared above sums up and yet barely scratches the surface of the emotions and actions of the characters of this book. Vilmar and Gabrilella have such care for each other and the others around them, they are tested and grow visibly as characters throughout the book. I was sad to see the story end. You have no idea how much. But I am hoping the next book in the series keeps giving my glimpses of these two wonderful characters! And lets not even start on this amazing cover!

I could rave about this book all day, but Id rather you read it to! 5 out of 5 stars for this beautiful retelling of Cinderella’s Story.

Note: This is only getting a four star because of the ending; it seemed a little rushed and I would have liked it to be a little longer. I would have gladly given it 5 stars if not for that.

Nevertheless, I really, really, really liked this. It was the forbidden romance aspect mostly I think, add in one sexy, appealing guard who doesn't much care for his job and one innocent prisoner and whew! Blown away!

I was obsessed from the first page to the last and I didn't want to put my kindle down! It was action packed, romantic, heart-breaking...

With how it ended I'm unsure how the next book will go in the series. Will it continue with Cole and Lexi's story? Or will it centre on someone else and involve these two lovebirds? Either way, I look forward to reading the rest.
