Absolutely delicious to read. Not a retelling per se but a lovely nod to the original story.

The characters were all developed with care (even the minor ones had a little side story) and the plot didn’t disappointed.

Dark and sexy and all kinds of wrong, this is a great start to the series. I already downloaded the second one for my flight tomorrow.

Ps: as much as the plot didn’t disappointed me it is fair to say it wasn’t without its flaws. Some of these scenes were just unbelievable but it is fairly tale inspired so I can’t really fault the story.
