I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest view.
This is fun as a pastiche of fairy tales, but some of the connections are tenuous and don't totally work--I wanted more from the plot. I respect the moments of terror in the forest that Kathryn Purdie creates, though; I felt a sense of dread every time Clara, Henni, and Axel met a new figure.
