I'm a big fan of twists on fairytales (twisted fairytales?😈) and this absolutely delivered, in Tamsyn Muir's signature style: hilarious, a bit gory, irreverent, morally dubious characters and a story that keeps getting flipped on its head.

I listened to the audiobook and I'd strongly recommend this option if you can, Moira Quirk's narration was a big part of the delivery of this story and had me laughing out loud many times. (It seems this had a limited print run and is now only available as an audiobook anyway, unless you can source secondhand).

This has definitely encouraged me to continue with my audio re-read of the Locked Tomb series as well!
