A review by cass_lit
The Kingdom of Sweets by Erika Johansen

3.5

I really loved the atmosphere and vibes of this. It’s touted as a nutcracker retelling, but I don’t think I was aware of how dark of a retelling it would be (a positive for me). My main complaint is that I was confused a lot, and I think it ultimately had to do with the writing style. Something about the way the story was presented I felt buried the important facts and plot information in return for trying to up the atmosphere.
