I picked this up because I thought it was a fairy tale retelling. It was in a way, and definitely on the dark side.
I don’t think I’ve ever read ahead in a book to determine if I wanted to continue or stop. I decided to forge on, but the story didn’t really improve

The main protagonist, Ella, was not a very likeable character and I found her to be mostly shallow and the outward thinking parts at times felt disengenous
