The first half was very slow and challenging to get into but the ending saved the book for me. I do think the conclusion came about too quickly, and I didn't feel there was good relationship building between the two main characters.

The plot of this story was entertaining and the performance by the audiobook narrator was phenomenal, but I never felt myself rooting for many of the characters.

Read if you like fairytale-like stories that are plot-driven.
