Please, no spoilers!

I read it last year and have to say I was a bit disappointed, although I did like some aspects of it very much. I’ll discuss in more detail in the spoiler thread. Curious to see others’ responses.

I also have it ready to start later today on my iPad.

[Nick]

I am 20 pages in, and am finding it real -- and magical.

[Kari]

Read the first chapter before even getting out of bed this morning. Very excited about this one!

Exciting and strange!

I have been wanting to read this for quite some time, so I'm really excited and will be starting some time this week.

I am about 50% into the book and quite like it so far. It takes its time, which I find appropriate for this story, it has a lot of cool fairy tale tropes and so far, I'm not sure how it will end, which is good.
I do hope that in the end, Cassiopeia will have to overcome some kind of test where she will succeed because every person she met on her journey taught her something she needs in that moment. That would be a really cool way to bring it full circle.
