Reread to jog my memory before reading the sequel. I remembered the beginning and the end of the book but there were parts in the middle that I had completely forgotten, so it was good that I reread it.
Similar in premise to Uprooted. I liked it for the most part but the world building was not as strong as it really should have been. Characters would learn facts that completely threw their understanding of the world out the window and then they would ask zero follow up questions.
I still don't really understand the nature of the Wilderwood and the original bargain between the first Second Daughter and the Wolf.
I did like the aspects of Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White (and Rose Red) that were included in the story.
