While I enjoyed this book, it was a bit difficult for me to get through.

I was intruiged by the promise of multiple fairy tales woven together in a dark forest, but the individual tales felt really disjointed from one another and didn't mesh together like I wanted them to. It almost felt like a collection of short stories that were connected by a theme? I don't know if I'm explaining it right.

The romance was also lacking for me. I never rooted for the couple because I didn't ever feel like we got to see any development beyond physical attraction. There was no emotional development on the page and I struggled with that.

However I did enjoy the overarching story and the atmosphere of the dark forest. And I enjoyed it enough to check out the sequel when it publishes.
