This book was written with such finesse and thought; it is a brilliant fairy tale reimagining with incredible characters who each felt like a piece on a chess board. My one disappointment was the main marrying the Fairy King, that romantic turn felt sudden, but I'd also read romance into her interactions with Wanda, so take that with a grain of salt.
Graphic: Child abuse and Death of parent
Moderate: Antisemitism and Kidnapping
Minor: Miscarriage
