I'm not used to reading dark stories, so to me this was very VERY DARK. Please check all the warnings before reading this book.loquitacass's review against another edition

I really liked how dark the fairy tale retellings were and it was nice to see the main character's relationships with other people develop as he "grew up". The depiction of grief and overall of negative emotions in the eyes of the main character was also fascinating.
Overall a cool book, a great choice if you're into fairy tales and spooky stuff.
