This is a fresh take on the "retelling a fairy tale" genre. I enjoyed it immensely, and the author manages to avoid many of the sexist pitfalls of the fairy tale genre. The queer representation was a happy surprise. I enjoyed it, though at times it did feel a bit slow, hence the less than perfect rating. The perfect balance of predictable twists with unexpected details, so the ending feels earned but not stale.
