I love a retelling. Especially if it’s a mash up with new or different elements. This book definitely fits that bill.
There are some things I really .enjoyed in this story.
The various fairytale folk that are represented. The mixing up and restructuring of the characters. The different representations of familiar characters.
However, about 1/2 way through, the desire to be different starts to muck up the story. The competition for her father is the initial storyline but it gets pushed aside and then pulled back out. It messed with the continuity of the story.
I really liked the intent but the execution got in its own way.
