4.5

Loved this novella from Naomi Novik, it's perfect for fans of her other work. In some ways a classic fairytale, but is also a refreshing take. There's an impressive amount of world building given its length. LOVED the relationship between the siblings.

Thank you to Del Rey for providing me with an ARC on NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
