I had moderate-to-low expectations for this book because I was really disappointed by Harrow’s previous book (which I had high expectations for), but I was pleasantly shocked by how much I enjoyed this. The twists in classic fairytales and nursery rhymes and children’s songs were fascinating, and I found these characters to be very compelling.
