4.5 stars. This one surprised me. I didn't expect it to be so good. It is apparently a retelling of the fairy tale Bluebeard (one which I am not familiar with).

It's in the realm of magical realism, which is always a personal favorite. Cute and whimsical and yet dark. It's a great combination. Unique and creepy and terribly entertaining. It's an easy read, which is lovely. And there's a cute hedgehog (oddly, maybe my favorite character in the story).

Well worth the read and potentially a reread.
