slow-paced
2.0
I DNFed this book 5 chapters in and went back to it because I was intrigued by the cover.
I enjoyed the straightforward and clear writing. Apart from this point, I really struggled to make progress. The building of the story is incredibly slow. The first third of the book is made with vague foreshadowing and the presentation of the life of an ordinary teenager. The ableism of the fairytale part was frankly exhausting. I don't recommend it to any disabled people.
