This was everything I hoped it would be. Twisted fairytale meets dark cottagecore vibes. I love T. Kingfisher’s takes on fairytale retellings, they manage to be both comfortably familiar and unique all at once.

It’s only a short novella and although it covered the story well, I did end up wishing we could follow Toadling on past the end of this story and into the years with Halim, as she learned more of her human heritage and his culture.
