So many thoughts! I don’t have time to list them all right now, but here are a couple key points:
Positives:
- The prose. Though it took a few chapters to become used to, the writing is gorgeous, and wonderfully sells the fairytale aspects of the story!
- The symbolism. So much potential for analysis here! (Though, admittedly, you really don’t have to reach far. It’s a little on the nose)
- The pacing (for the most part) was very well done! I couldn’t put it down at times! Though there was hardly any action, no part of it felt dull
It’s a good book! But, if you’re considering picking it up, please please please check the triggers! There are a lot of them!
Negatives:
- I thought the plot twist was neat! But a little obvious!
- The ending felt a bit rushed.
