Thank you Tor Books and NetGalley for the gifted review copy!
This was my first time reading T. Kingfisher, and I thoroughly enjoyed this dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm's Goose Girl. The characters were a highlight, particularly the sassiness of Hester, Imogene, and Penelope, and the sweet resilience of Cordelia. Hester's intelligence and courage stood out, while the romance between her and Lord Evermore added a touching element to the story. The narrative skillfully blends humor and darkness, reminiscent of Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. I'm eager to read more by T. Kingfisher!
