Why didn't I realize that this was more or less a Christmas story? As luck would have it, I began reading it around Christmas, so the mood was fitting.
Grimm Curiosities is a great cozy mystery, portal fantasy, folktale hybrid in a Victorian setting with a smidge of romance. Fisher's writing flows easily and her characters are likable (well, mostly). Lizzy is endearing and it's not difficult to be invested in her, her family, and the adventure at hand.
Thanks to NetGalley and 47North for the eARC!
