DNF at 200 pages. This book was a chimera, with all the disparate heads biting itself. I think it was trying to be an homage to Grimms' Fairy Tales, and just like the original tales that meant marrying fairy magic, demonic influences, and at-risk little girls, into one cautionary tale. But the book didn't build interesting, sympathetic young women, just a series of mish-mashed references and half-baked vignettes. There were too many PoV's, and they switched too rapidly (sometimes sections were only a paragraph or two long). You're never in one story long enough to care. Also, the format was just awkward: There is a present day countdown to a fight-to-the-death that gets minute by minute timestamps, but then there is a flashback portion with no date and time; AND the narration is first person for one character, third for the other PoV characters, but SECOND person during exposition?! There were even times that the first person narrator was narrating a different character's PoV "chapter". It was odd. Maybe it was supposed to mimic dream "logic". But reading somebody's dream journal would be just as dissatisfying. I do not feel anything for these girls.
