What Members Thought

Picked this up solely based on the title, thinking it would be satirical turning the fairy tale on its head kind of story; I was expecting something more like the Broadway show Into the Woods. Turned out to be serious imagining of a source of the myth. And even though I was wanting funny, and was quite put off by the Mother character, for some reason I kept reading, albeit in short bursts across several weeks, usually just a few pages before bed.
