too many POV's to follow and a few of them unnecessary, lots of triggering content that simply did not add to the plot, and the storyline and events felt not fully developed :\

A remarkable story in a fantastic world. I enjoyed the way the chapters sometimes jump between characters and I would feel slightly uncertain about who's talking but then it becomes clear and it just feels a bit magical. Amazing women getting it done. This book and its world will stay with me for awhile.

Mysterious creatures, enchanted forests, deal-making, unlikely partnerships, daring decisions, and relatable characters - this story has it all! A wonderful winter fairytale which will keep your attention to the end. The story has various elements of the classic “Rumpelstiltskin” tale, although it’s still very much a story of its own.
