I am flabbergasted with how good this is. Possibly one of the most unique blends of fantasy and fairy tale I have ever read, familiar without ever feeling trite. A story that is fulfilling, perhaps slightly predictable at times but without falling into cliché... Gosh. If it had just the tiniest more sprinkle of romance this would've been completely perfect and the only book ever.

As it is, it's just really quite perfect.
