This was actually a reread, though I'd forgotten I read this a couple of years ago.
Cute, sweet story; an adult take on the fairy tale. Mara reads like any awkward woman with self-esteem issues would: unsure, uncomfortable, plowing on despite feeling like maybe she's doing it all wrong. Kingfisher has a knack for writing female characters any female reader would easily identify with.
Agnes is my favorite.
