I will admit that I don't think I've ever read or heard The Goose Girl story before, or if I have, I didn't realize it. But I've really enjoyed most everything I've read by T. Kingfisher so I was excited to read this.

The story was compelling and I didn't struggle to finish it, but this was very middle ground for me compared to other books by T. Kingfisher. The contrasting POVs worked very well together and had very distinct personalities. I liked that it was fourteen year old Cordelia paired with 50 year old Hester. Hester and her friends in particular, I found very amusing. 

Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
