This was a good book! It has the most odd and enchanting take on the old school fairy tales we grew up with. However, this book is not for children. I am shocked that the age range recommends ages 10-14 yrs. Though there was no swearing, there is a lot of adult content that is referenced throughout. Some odd parts in the book that made me wonder what the author was trying to accomplish by having the adult content in a book that is intended for a young audience. Good for adults. Kids absolutely not. Maybe late teens.
