Pip is the happiest boy in the kingdom of Lindensea, until he loses everything and becomes the saddest boy in the world. Falling in love with a dishevelled young nobleman who is leaving the kingdom seems like a piece of foolishness that will only break his heart.

It took hard work and determination for Pip to survive. It will take time, luck, and a sprinkle of magic for a chance at true happiness. But are the stars on his side, or working against him?The question remains: 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘙𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯? 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘙𝘶𝘦?

I'm going to be honest, I am a huge sucker for fairy-tale retellings. So, I knew going into this story that there was a good chance I was going to like it. However, I was not expecting to be blown away by @ella_rowan 's beautiful, unique twist on the classic Cinderella tale.

Raven and Rue focuses on our main character, a boy named Pip, and his struggles through life. We, as the reader, are taken along on his adventure from an unlucky country boy to being the happiest man in all the land. It is through his lifelong journey that tough subjects such as parental death, sexuality, and gender are tackled in a beautiful way that I think many will find enjoyable.

However, don't be fooled by these hard-hitting topics. This story is still very lighthearted. There were many times where I found myself giggling and even kicking my feet with joy. And, of course, swooning over how sweet our "Prince Charming" is.

That being said, I believe it is only fair to give this book the rating it deserves...
