I wanted to continue this book but unfortunately the writing style was not for me. Had I been 10 more years younger I probably would have liked it but the writing style seemed too forced. Like the imagery and symbolism of the color red was pasted all over the story. I understand it is not easy creating a spin off with an existing fairy tale I believe the storyline so far was really good and had formidable foundation and interesting story line. However the writing style how this was presented was unfortunately was not my style.
