This book surprised me in a good way. At first the story seems very familiar, with themes that have been explored in depth in many fantasy novels. However the setting and integration of Polish folklore give it a unique edge.
It did drag for me in the middle, and some scenes seemed to distract from the overall story. But the ending and epilogue were unexpected and kept me thinking about the story long after I had finished it. I'd recommend this if you are looking for a unique take on a seemingly familiar fairy tale.
