If you’re searching for a book that will sweep you away into an enchanting dark retelling of beloved Grimm fairy tales, this one is a must-read. From the very first page, I was hooked. Barden’s ability to weave multiple fairy tale characters into a single, cohesive story is pure magic. The characters are compelling, and the world-building is absolutely flawless, leaving me eager for more of Eveline’s journey. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2!
