However, two parts did bother me enough to feel a tad disappointed. (This might spoil too much for some, so be warned)
The causes for the sisters' demises surprised me. Nothing truly foreshadowed them enough for me that I felt that they fitted seamlessly into the world.
The ending felt...off to me. All of it would've felt smoother if more had been explained throughout the story. I felt unsatisfied by the conclusion as the cause of the death in this House of Salt and Sorrows was rushed in the last chapters. Leaving important characters underdeveloped despite that they were the reason why it all happened. Had we been given more than a few crumbs, perhaps I would've felt more involved in the tragedies of it all and the consequences for this unfortunate family.
All things concluded however, I devoured this book with great enthusiasm and would recommend it for those who enjoy darker shades of fairytales.
Moderate: Death and Murder
Minor: Infidelity and Violence
