This was interesting because it was not really happy. It hearkened back to the Grimm brother's fairy tales in that respect. There were some Russian fairy tale influences I could feel throughout here when I was reading.
I loved how dark the characters were. They felt very fleshed out and very well written. Great job.
The plot was really nice and, again, well written. Not too many slow parts, though there were a few. I still enjoyed it.
I love the fact that it's a standalone so I can have it all wrapped up. I think I may look up her other books.
