The Storyteller by Antonia Michaelis
3.0

Ok, so it's good. I couldn't put it down. And the translation is one of the best I've read - the language reads beautifully, never clumsy or awkward. It's original and compelling with richly crafted characters that I cared about. It's a dark and gritty fairy tale that actually lives up to the darkness of those early stories. But something happens towards the end that I don't think should have been forgiven. And that kept me from really liking the book overall. Still, I'll be thinking about this one for awhile.
