This a book that initially difficult to start but it definitely begins to pickup a chapters.it has a cool setting and I often myself craving a deeper understanding of the world. The retelling of the fairytales in the book was an enjoyable aspect for me. It made me incredibly nostalgic for the Sisters Grimm series that I read as a child. I enjoyed the character development of David, however found that I personally did not connect to him deeply. It felt like a sweet read navigating complex feelings of grief and real raw emotions.
