This seems to be only connected to the Snow White fairy tale by the barest thread. I was intrigued by the story of Boy, who escapes the evil Rat Catcher to move to Flax Hill and marries a man with a daughter. The ending felt rather rushed, with major plot twists being thrown into the last bits of the book.
An easy and interesting read, but I was left wanting more... and not in the good way. There were far too many unanswered questions and the ending came along without explanation or resolve.
More like 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the writing, through the characters didn't always seem trust-worthy or particularly likable. The ending was a bit strange, though overall I want to read other books by this author.

Beautifully written, oddly finished
A lovely turn of phrase around every corner, but dark and unsettling by the end. Worth consideration on any TBR pile, but only if you're in the mood for darkness. ...more
