Gretel and the Dark by Eliza Granville

1.0

I had such high hopes for this book. I love fairy tales and stories from WWII, so it seemed a perfect book for me. However, the characters were so unlikable, that I just couldn't get through it. I hate giving up on books. There are only a few I have given up on because I find it frustrating to do so. However, it's more frustrating to continue to read a book you just don't like, especially when it's a book you were looking forward to reading and I just really didn't like this book. It was due back at the library and I still had over 100 pages left in it. In the end, I decided it wasn't worth the late fee and returned it without finding out how it ended. To me, it just wasn't worth it to read about the characters who I didn't like.
