Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advance listeners' copy.
This was a roller coaster, from a comedy of manners to a creepy magical horror and everything in between. The narrators did a good job distinguishing between Cordelia and Hester's pov with their personality shining through their performance. I especially liked Hester as a older woman with a fiery spirit and gets to have a love interest, you dont get to see that in many books. I, unfortunately, am very sympathetic to Cordelia's anxious personality, and put off finishing this for a while because I got too anxious listening to her chapters. Never mind me, this is a great book, another excellent fairy tale adaptation from T. Kingfisher.
