This book was fine. I liked the idea behind the story, but the execution left something to be desired. For most of the book I was confused as to what was happening, and I had to force myself to keep reading. The shifting POVs were particularly confusing - they never declared who was the new narrator and the POV shifted in such a place that I had trouble following the various plotlines, especially in the first 30% or so of the book. By the end of the book, I did find myself wanting to find out what happened next, but that occurred only in the last 10-20%.

Overall, I would not recommend this book to a friend.

So good! Loved picking out what bits of fairy tales and myths were used to weave this story together.
