4.5
i largely guessed the general vibe of the book just from reading the blurb. it was the reason i picked it up and i’m so glad that i did.
the first couple chapters are very much in the vein of a whimsical fairytale retelling before it begins to descend into something darker and stranger.
there is a sharp twist around 2/3 into the book. while it personally it all the points of things i enjoy, it’s a pretty divisive storytelling choice.
this book is just over a hundred pages, so its hard to discuss without spoiling it. if you’re looking for a short weird horror story for an afternoon, i recommend it.
