I think this was such a strong concept that lost its way out of the gate and ended in a way that felt quite ham fisted. Despite being quite long I don’t feel like we got to connect with many of the characters. I enjoyed the twisted fairytale vibes though.

Forgot to mention that the author perfectly captured how it feels to be in England in January: 

She had never realized how easily hope died when there was no sunlight, how hard it was to believe that another day was worth fighting for when there was only night.
