Wasted fantasy storytelling. I realize this story is dated but it didn’t challenged some boundaries or stretch a classic myth into a unique yarn .

krisawesome's review against another edition

4.0

It’s a take on a darker, often sanitized Perrault tale, but the focus here is very much about trauma and its aftermath, and coping, and recovery. It’s hard to read at times, but it’s so beautifully done.
