I've been holding off on this book, and I have no idea why, because now that I finished it I think it's so dang good!
Well-paced, beautifully written, and all-around enchanting, I ESPECIALLY enjoyed the narrative choices as they relate to the multi-POV recounting of events. Novik knew exactly whose eyes to see through at what time, to make as poignant and powerful a story as can be.
I could recognise a lot of the fairytales that went into it as inspiration, too, and that gave the story a unique sort of nostalgic feeling. And I thought the audiobook was very well performed.
