I loved the concept and the characters so deeply. I agree that I would have loved more world building; to see more behind the curtain but also see more of the lives of people in Lille. However, I think we got just enough for the story to get us right where we needed to be. Especially considering it is a fairytale that most people have heard or known for most of their lives. I thought the writing was brilliant and beautiful; you could feel the longing and bravery in each line.
