I’m not usually a reader of fairytale retellings but this was from an Illumicrate box. I listened to it instead of reading it and it was well-narrated. There’s a fanciful quality to the writing, it’s much told like a child-like story but done so in a way that’s engaging for an adult.
The plot was more interesting than the characters themselves, and the revelation at the end gives a nod to typical fairy tale tropes. Overall, I enjoyed the book and was eager to keep listening.
