4.0

Somewhat reminiscent of Into the Woods, it's a novel that manages to turn numerous classic fairy tales into episodes in the life of Hansel and Gretel. It's simple and accessible to read (which is deceptively hard to write!) and very cleverly done. As it went further I liked it better and better. The story works.

(Note: 5 stars = rare and amazing, 4 = quite good book, 3 = a decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. There are a lot of 4s and 3s in the world!)
