1.0
This was basically a 2-star read for me, but I dropped the second star because there were so many typos that some parts were nearly unreadable, which made the experience really frustrating.
I think I can see why people liked this story but it wasn't for me. Somehow despite being so short it dragged on way too long, the time skips felt pointless, and the fairy tale aspects didn't mix well with the more modern parts of the book for me.No one reported that Pontiac stolen in 17 years? No one noticed all those people dying?
