to the girlies in barnes and noble who i overheard saying this book was “high brow and too abstract”…lol, please. it’s an enjoyable read regardless if you try to parse every “subtlety” or social commentary.

An interesting story, I did got into it after half way through but overall it is not my thing. Not fan of any kind of folk/fairy tale and I should really check before buying the book next time
