I loved this book because it gave me such a sense of anxiety that I needed to finish this book to know what happens. The characters are well developed and loveable, the story plays out in a very fairytale way, complete with all the gruesome violence typical of Grimms fairytales. The fantasy world building isn't as sophisticated but cozy instead. Marketed as a YA but very much able to be enjoyed by an adult. Great writing that is complex and maintains the status of the story as a medieval fairytale. I highly recommend this book!
