This was a quick, absorbing read for me. The first two-thirds was better than the last third, which went too fast without enough explanation, but it still kept me reading and I didn't want to put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the sequel! If you like fractured fairy tales or creepy stories, definitely give this one a try! ...more
