I LOVED the descriptions of the landscapes and the castles (which is weird for me). Some of the characters were also great (Puss). Some of them felt…stale(?). It’s hard to explain. It weirded me out when some of the characters were so young. I get that fairytales are like that but…I don’t know. I wish she would have challenged the original stories more.
