- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

I really enjoyed this book. Debated on whether to rate it a 4.75 or 5, but decided to round up because of how quickly it hooked me. I usually do not gravitate towards horror, but the dark fairytale-ish way this book incorporated it drew me in.
A lot of imagery in the book is beautiful, disturbing, and haunting all at once. Not enough to give me nightmares, but enough to linger with me. I wish we knew more about what happened after the end of the book, as there feels like some unanswered questions, however it feels complete enough to work as a standalone.
