This was a truly wonderful novel. Marillier has taken a familiar, old fairy tale and breathed new life into it, and subverted some of the tropes; the characters feel deeply human.

footnotesinyourstory's review against another edition

loved the writing, the setting & the characters to some extent (even if they felt a bit too mature for their age). it felt a bit too slow-moving as well.

the graphic rape scene

was too much for me, especially as it felt a bit too abrupt. maybe it was my fault for not heeding the content warnings.

i also found out from other reviews that the main couple has a significant age gap when the fmc is still a child, so personally not very into that either lol
