Kind of trophy take on stories. You already know with new wines on the women and their relationship with their fathers

The premise really pulled me in but the writing style made it really difficult for me to engage with the story from the opening pages. I'm not sure what it's called but it's similar to Rick Riordan's Red Pyramid series in the transcription or script style of dialogue writing with storytelling interspersed throughout. And additionally, the way the dialogue jumped around the story points putting them out of the order they occurred. I found myself reading pages to really grasp the plot. It's really unfortunate the author chose this style because it's what ultimately made me stop reading it. I really wish she just wrote a fluid story without what I guess I'll call "character commentary".

Fun, in a sense of look at all the copyright-free tales we get to trample upon, but otherwise a bit annoying and too self aware for its own good.
