A lovely and creepy fairy tale that was such an adventure to read! I really adored how the story was broken up between what was happening and the more legend/fairy tale events of the past. There are so many details that weave together so beautifully that at the end I wanted to reread it again, just to see the small hints and foreshadowing. I rented it from the library but I already know that this is a book I'm going to have to buy so I can mark all of the lines and pages that spoke to me (and there were a lot!)
Adored this book and I cannot wait to read it again.

I can't believe how easily I was sucked back into this world of Del Toro's, thanks to Luis Avila's amazing narration that made me stop other things that I was doing (#sorrynotsorry work) so that I could hear this story. I loved the additional interludes that Funke provided of the main cast that gave some great backstory that is not in the film.
A fantastic book that kept the same wonder and magic from the film. Definitely will look into more audiobooks from Avila and work from Funke in the future1
