Stray by Elissa Sussman
2.0
Stray was a unique kind of fairytale, with fairy godmothers and magic and secrets. The world within this book was interesting, though I felt it wasn't touched upon too much.
That was a recurring thought of mine throughout this book: that several topics remained vague and unspoken. I would have liked to have read more backstory about some of the characters, like Aisslyn, Thackery, and the Evil Queen.
Sussman's writing style is extremely pretty and poetic. I was able to picture the world clearly, and I would have even enjoyed more details about the scenery.
The overall storyline was great, but there are definitely a few holes within the book. Even by the end, I still had many questions, though I suppose those could be explained further in the companion series.
Still, this was a diverse form of a fairytale, and I did enjoy it.
