A gripping and haunting story. A fairytale that focuses on abuse and how it impacts its victims. I can feel the feminine rage in this, anger for those who feel powerless in the face of a predatory figure. 

I enjoyed it, and the descriptions were magical and captivating in their own right. 

A truly dark story as well - I would very much recommend reading the warnings if you are triggered by dark content.
