My 3rd Kingfisher book and I absolutely loved it. I picked it up in the "horror" section but it felt more like a dark fairytale, which I'm totally okay with! I was surprised the main character was so young but it made sense with the plot and she ended up showing such growth, even in a short amount of time. The topics covered were very heavy but I find Kingfisher does a wonderful job of balancing depth, spooky, and heavy topics with levity, joy, and humor. While I loved the characters (Hedgehog forever ♥️) and the plot, it was lacking a bit of the "spook" that I felt in her other books. But overall I would recommend and truly enjoyed it!!!
