I received an ARC of this book from the publisher and WOW was it AMAZING!!!!! It is so refreshing to read a work of YA fantasy that is incredibly different from pretty much everything else out there.

Everything about this book was perfect. The main character, Vassa, was spunky and likeable, and the plot was twisted and creepy in all the right ways. It was fast paced and fun to read, and kept me guessing until the end. It's not for the faint of heart, but I would highly recommend it to lovers of dark fantasy and modern retellings of classic fairy tales.
