this was VERY good. the plot was absolutely amazing, and when did I not love a morally grey revolving plot? the only thing I can find is that I didnt like the characters. at all. sophie was very, very hypocrite (and yes, I know her character was supposed to), on the other hand, Agatha had something, dont ask me what is it because I dont know, that made me dislike her. I even liked sophie more than her, which was...something, for sure. another thing I don't like about this book is everything happening because of the power of love and friendship. and yes, I know this book is about fairytales, but sometimes it felt like the author didnt know how to solve an issue and bam, because of the power of love and friendship everything is fixed. and also....am I the only one who shipped sophie and agatha????? because even after they kissed, they were still calling each other friends..... 
anyway, I really liked the plot of this book. morally grey themes are definitely my thing, and I really liked how the author dealt with it. I will continue with this series, for sure!
