After the Forest by Kell Woods

4.5

This was so good! Just like a real Grimm's fairy tale it's dark and bloody and atmospheric.
I loved the way so many different fairy tales had pieces from them woven into the story.  I will say, while I loved the audiobook narration, the one thing that was difficult to separate out was the vignettes at the beginning of each chapter.  I think that would have been clearer in a physical copy.
Greta and Mattias's relationship was a highlight of the book.  I liked the development and how they helped each other.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend for fans of dark fairy tale retellings.
