I almost didn’t pick this book up because of the middling reviews, but I am SO glad I did anyway! This book is VIBES! All the green/kitchen witch, shapeshifting, and soft romance you could ask for. I adored the characters and couldn’t put it down.

I really really tried with this one.

I loved the idea of a continuation of Hansel and Gretel. A reimagining, if you will.

However, I'm bored. I'm over 1/2 way in and nothing has really happened. The writing is taking forever. I'm sure it's beautiful, but that's not a big deal for me. I don't feel any connection to the characters. And the fantasy aspects and very few. This feels more like a historical story right now because they keep mentioning a war that has been happening. And not even a fantasy one.

I'm done.
