A very interesting and inspiring concept of not settling for what you believe fate has in store for you. the characters were so interesting for a 120 page book with fleshed out characteristics

Beautiful, exciting page turner. It is the best fairytale retelling I have read, and I don’t usually enjoy the mix of medieval fantasy and real modern world. But it’s about a kind of character I had never met before: a fatally sick one, and the writing is beautiful, flawless. You should read it.
