Review: This was a read I completed for a fairytale retelling challenge. This was a retelling of Hansel and Gretel.

This story has left me confused. This was in no way, in my mind, a retelling of Hansel and Gretel. I was lead astray.

I found myself not caring for the story or the characters. I felt like everything was handled so easily. There was no surprises or twists I didn't really predict.
