This may be just a me thing, I feel like the target audience is much younger than I had previously thought (I'm in my mid-twenties). It was pretty easy to follow, and frustratingly simple and predictable at times. It was a lovely re-telling, if gruesome at times. The MC was really annoying at first, and I didn't recognize much development in her until much later in the story-- still, it felt like she was the same from beginning to end, with marginal differences in development. Good read for a younger audience.
