3.0

I enjoyed the world that was created in this book. I liked the characters even though they weren't super likable lol, but I liked how they seemed dynamic and real. I thought the portrayal of women and their roles in society in a variety of different lives was realistic, nuanced, and interesting. I did feel like the book was confusing at times and because it is based off of a folktale, it was hard to wrap my brain around certain plot points (I'm not super well versed in the source material). I am excited to read more from this author because I enjoyed how she wrote the characters and I think with a different plot, I would really love her books!
