Hazel and Gray has a unique plot that is definitely not like the original kid version Hansel and Gretel, but you can see the similarities. There were a number of analogies, wasn't a fan of them, too abstract. The magical element was nice, and Hazel dropping legos instead of bread crumbs was cute. I enjoyed the young love story and magic. Book executed very well. Trigger warnings: sex traffic should be labeled for this book
