This is the type of book that if I had read it in my teen years would have consumed my life. It's dark, mysterious, and hugely atmospheric. Combining a forever loved concept of mine, the liminal, with dark fairytale features made for an exciting read.
The twists weren't too hard to see coming as someone with a lot of knowledge on writing rules and mythology who was looking for clues to the answers. But this didn't dissuade me from reading on.
