This was an excellent YA fantasy retelling. The fairytale elements combined with an adventure quest melded well. Our main character is likable but flawed, and was written with a good amount of growth and depth. The supporting cast, all tasked with a seemingly impossible situation, made difficult choices with a lot of different perspectives that made the world feel fleshed out.
It had great queer representation, lessons on empowering yourself and others plus a really fun plot.
