I saw this book on my coworker’s Goodreads and I had to pick it up because of the cover art. I knew this would be a very grim retelling but I didn’t anticipate that this would be so beautiful and absolutely horrible. There are so many unspoken evils here; this story strikes blow after blow and never misses in its aim for your mind and your heart. It is so open ended and loose in some places that the fill in the blank your mind does gets scary. I gave this a 4/5 because of the stunning art work and the passion in it. The pictures told a story better than the words did. Ultimately this was too sad for me.

Somehow this is even more traumatizing and disturbing than the original/traditionally written version.
