Cute but eh
I get it, it's sweet story with a lot of meaning which I can appreciate. However, I found it boring to read. If it wasn't so short I probably wouldn't had made the effort to finish.

Err.. i'm not sure what to say. I mean it was kinda interesting but confusing. I'm not exactly sure what happened in this short story. Not sure I'll read the others.

It was a very short story. I liked the premise of it but it seemed a bit rushed. Wth the strength of the character and a bit more development this could be a good full length book. I will be reading the continuation of this story line.

I was pleasantly surprised by this short story. I couldn't put it down and wished it was longer. It left me feeling like I had just watched a really good scary movie.

This M&B book whilst interesting doesn’t meet with the usual standards. The characters are lovely and the story line keeps you thinking but the lack of details is disappointing.

I absolutely love Rosamund Hodge's writing. She somehow manages to balance beauty and darkness perfectly. It reminds me a lot of the Grimm fairy tales, but in a way, more romantic.

This is a retelling of Cinderella and has become one of my favorites. It keeps the darkness, but keeps it in some sort of fantastical world that makes it even more beautiful.

This was just a short story, but that doesn't mean I didn't absolutely love it. I need to get my hands on Crimson Bound soon. Even in this short story, Rosamund was able to fully flesh out the characters and make them completely believable. I didn't feel like the story was rushed or too drawn out. It was just right.

I would highly recommend this to people who love dark stories, fairy tale retellings, or just a good short story.

(Plus, Proulx was just awarded the 2018 Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction.)
