A must read!
It took me longer than usual to read this book purely because I didn't want it to end, so I had to keep putting it down just to savour it!
Neil Gaiman's writing style is on point in this book, it draws you right into the story. Gaiman makes you fall in love with the protagonists, and passionately hate the antagonists. He makes you question the loyalty of certain characters, and trust the ones you should have been questioning all along. Gaiman makes you feel like you are right there in London below with them.
This whole book is fantastic, the concept, the characters, the writing, the beginning; the middle; and the end. It's one of those books you never want to end, never want to put down, and could read over and over again.

We read this book for the first month of my monthly book club,personally I rated it two out of five, as a group it was rates three out of five. I don't think any of us really loved it,and personally I wouldn't say I really enjoyed it,but that's maybe because it isn't a book.i would usually read. I found it really hard to connect with the style of writing as I could not get immerses in the story or characters,It wasn't a very personal style of writing,instead making you feel like you were being kept at an arms distance. I only started to enjoy the story three quarters through the book when the story was being tied up and coming to an end. As a group we all decided we wouldn't be reading anymore Georgina Harding.

I was excited for this novel because I love adult retellings of fairytales. Unfortunately, it wasnt what I wanted. The description makes it sound steampunk with some fantasy, but it was difficult to place anything because there wasnt much description. All I got out of it was there was a forest. There is really no description of the settings beyond that.
The beginning was the worst part. The writing was mess. Everything seemed all over the place and the writing wasnt consistent at all. The author would write something, realize we dont have the background to understand what she was talking about, and then described past events to bring us up to speed. However, she wouldnt write the whole scenario, she would just give us bits and pieces. The author did this multiple times so the writing came off as choppy and confusing. Once the reading makes it past that, the writing becomes more clear since we now have the whole picture (we just have to piece it together ourselves.) I felt that I was missing a lot, that there should be an prequel that explains everything. Instead, we just have to read and hope we are giving the information to understand the plot.
The story does get better if you can make it past the beginning. It had a lot of potential to be great and is an interesting idea. I just wish the writing had been better. Plus I had a hard time getting past the fact that he essentially sexually abuses her in the beginning.

This is a fantastic set of essays, both entertaining and educational, and Massey’s writing is both solid and accessible.
