[Sara]

1.) I really liked her and how her character unfolded and we learned more about her as the novel went on. I also liked how she began to slowly learn about her abilities.
2.) I liked how the book mixed fairy elements with the real world

3.) Yes, no I would not change anything
4.) I really loved how I learned more about her family and how so many secrets were kept across generations. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy novels as well as anyone who enjoys Holly Black.

5.) The glass coffin was very scary to me and was an interesting element that was definitely not Snow White.
6.) The faeries were very scary to me and had the otherworldly dangerous quality that I find very interesting.
