Dark fairytale, check triggers! 
With that said, I still found it delightful and was cheering for Marra and BoneDog all the way. It wrapped up in a nice little bow as all good fairytales do.

This is a delightful story with such a unique set of characters. I love that everyone was above the age of 30 and felt really real. They're all just kind of weirdos banded together with a mission which is my favorite genre. i also think it plays with fairy tale lore very well and i love the complicated sister relationship and of course Bonedog is amazing. It did make me cry.

Pacing of the story is uneven, and the flashback split storytelling at the beginning seemed odd.  Certain things also aren’t explained, that while perhaps not directly relevant to the story, left me wanting an explanation (trying to avoid spoilers here).  Interesting story concept though and

I love Bonedog

.  I think because the story is so character-driven that it got more enjoyable once there were more characters and their personalities.

I loved it, even when parts were predictable, I loved it. A very creative version of an anti fairy tale.
