I think a lot of YA readers will be really taken with this, but ultimately it wasn't for me. Personally, this felt like a first draft: I wanted more details of the world, more developed characters and relationships, and less telling and more showing. Still, I think plenty of young readers will be very into this dark twist on a fairy tale, complete with rebellious heroines and some surprising twists.
