“We are born of the Salt, we live by the Salt, and to the Salt we return.”
Where do I even start? I very much liked this book. It’s fairytale like but freaky. 😆
House of Salt and Sorrows is a retelling from the Brothers’ Grimm Twelve Dancing Princesses, but with many of its own unique details. This story ticked many boxes for me. If you choose to read this beautiful story, you can expect the following:
1. Gothic Vibes, including a Dark and Mysterious Atmosphere
2. Greek Mythology and Fae Magical Elements
3. A Haunting Seaside Setting
4. A Few Dashes of YA Horror
5. A Sprinkle of Romance
