This was an absolutely stunning story as a whole, but once I started looking at individual components, I liked it a bit less.

I had the most issue with the pacing and wordiness of it all. This book genuinely felt 100 pages too long. If it had been edited down, it would have been more enjoyable.

I also wasn't a fan of all the POVs, especially since several of them felt unnecessary.

That said, this story was beautifully well written and took a well known fairytale and created something completely new out of it. And I find that to be a great accomplishment! I'll definitely continue picking up books by this author in the future.
