This was... okay-ish. The fairy tale feeling comes and goes in odd ways, and it usually feels strongest when the characters feel most like odd caricatures. The plot just kind of happens, and at some point I stopped trying to care about the sudden twists and turns. They're just there.

There isn't any real satisfaction throughout. Every time the good guys overcome a challenge it feels underwhelming, and every time they don't it feels like they didn't have a chance anyways. 

It's just generally a bit of a mess. I think the main characters are fun to read about... but only when the plot isn't trying to progress. That's when it gets weird.

Oh, and also check the content warnings. This book earned some out of the blue.
