This is probably my favorite fairy tale retelling Ive read, and that’s saying a lot. It’s just a really fun book! I was obsessed with fairy tales as a kid (I still am really) and this used so many of the tropes, molding them together in a story that explores the idea of curses, destiny, and fate so much more intricately than I expected or have seen before. It’s at once a very easy read but leaves you reconsidering many things you’ve probably always taken for granted in stories like this. I’ll be looking out for the sequel, which the ending set up very nicely.
