I wasn't sure about this book at first, but it definitely picked up along the way. I loved the twist on a famous story. It's definitely a dark retelling with a fair share of gore and mild torture, so beware. I'm so intrigued by where this series is headed and will for sure be moving on to the next installment soon. I do want to note that there is a bit of cussing and gore, so I don't plan on recommending this to just any YA reader.
