This was a surprisingly good read. I went into this just knowing about a boy asleep in a coffin and expected some sort of Snow White retelling. I had no idea that there were fairies and terrifying monsters! The book definitely kept me on my feet (I couldn't put it down at times and ended up reading as I was walking, which I don't recommend!). If you're not into fairies, I highly recommend reading this book. It's not what you would expect. I'm not generally drawn towards books centred around fairies and folklore creatures, but this was an interesting and dark twist!

4/5 stars
