This was a dark, eerie, moody book perfect for early November. It took its time building to the plot, but was okay with it because we got to be entrenched in this cold, damp, dark, fantastical world. It didn’t shy away from the darker elements of fairy tales, and was at times nauseating in such an entertaining way.
Unfortunately the romance fell flat. It was a little too shallow, happened too fast, and was a little bit forgettable. Even though I enjoyed both characters, I wish they’d had more time to fall believably in love.
Can’t wait to read the next sisters’ story!
