It was interesting how each character evolved, their backstories slowly unraveled in bits and pieces, through stories and fairy tales.
[Audiobook: I thoroughly enjoyed Joan Walker's narration of the audiobook. I probably would have DNF if it weren't for her storytelling.]

The last book I'd read by this author was "Beartown" and this one is wildly different, which speaks to his versatility.
