Alix Harrow is slowly but surely becoming one of my fave writters. Sometimes you really have to change your own story to be happy.

This book I would consider a “try hard”. Too many pop cultural references and a random lesbian relationship thrown in. Characters not likable or well developed imo. I love fairytale retellings but this one didn’t do it for me.
