Week 14 Review: Wings Once Cursed & Bound

From Goodreads:

For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout comes a bold and captivating fantasy by bestselling author Piper J. Drake.

My wings unbound, I am the Thai bird princess

The kinnaree

And no matter the cost,

I will be free.

Bennet Andrews represents a secret organization of supernatural beings dedicated to locating and acquiring mythical objects, tucking them safely away where they cannot harm the human race. When he meets Peeraphan Rahttana, it's too late—she has already stepped into The Red Shoes, trapped by their curse to dance to her death.

But Bennet isn't the only supernatural looking for deadly artifacts. And when the shoes don't seem to harm Peeraphan, he realizes that he'll have to save her from the likes of creatures she never knew existed. Bennett sweeps Peeraphan into a world of myth and power far beyond anything she ever imagined. There, she finds that magic exists in places she never dreamed—including deep within herself.

My Review:
I had a really great time reading this book! I know next to nothing about Thai culture, so having a book with a main character that is of that culture, yeah, I was totally down to read it. I had a really great time with these characters and this story! 

This world was very interesting and full of myths that I've never heard of before, and interesting and well done takes of creatures that are more well known. Plus there was a lot to be done in not a lot of time, and it was a really great and wild ride! It was such a blast to read! 

The whole beginning with the Red Shoes, yeah, that was pretty intense, and was a really great introduction to this world! I had to know what was going to happen next, and of course things don't quite go as Bennett would've liked.

I really enjoyed the pair of them, they both have different strengths, they both have different fonts of knowledge, and watching them come together, yeah, I really enjoyed the pair of them together! Between the shoes and the different effects they're having on her, they definitely had a lot on their plate. But I really enjoyed seeing how the story wrapped up! 

This was a fantastic read and I can't wait to read more!
