Starling does it again
I think this book was part love story, part horror, part a speculation on the lengths a person will go to protect themselves, and the development from self protection to protecting those one loves

It was adorable. I loved how creative the fairytale world was. I liked that Primrose (aurora) was lesbian, though I had kinda shipped her with the MC

this was kinda a femanist icon and i would definitely read more stories about the different worlds and Harrows femanist take on them
