A lovely and creepy fairy tale that was such an adventure to read! I really adored how the story was broken up between what was happening and the more legend/fairy tale events of the past. There are so many details that weave together so beautifully that at the end I wanted to reread it again, just to see the small hints and foreshadowing. I rented it from the library but I already know that this is a book I'm going to have to buy so I can mark all of the lines and pages that spoke to me (and there were a lot!)
Adored this book and I cannot wait to read it again.
