This was such a cool retelling. The author definitely has a way with drawing in the reader and hooking them. It may not have been my favorite story but it still hooked me the whole time. It was heartbreaking and mysterious and dark. I’m excited to read the next one. 
Even though I knew they couldn’t have been talking about giving up her first born baby so much without her actually getting pregnant soon after but still thought it was very abrupt that they slept together once and then the next section of the book she’s pregnant. She definitely wouldn’t have been able to tell that fast even if her bleeding cycle was late.. at least I wouldn’t think so.
