Dark and twisted, but with a light and hopeful tone. This was the perfect adult fairy tale—a bit reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, but with darker edges.
I fell in love with this book in the first chapter and immediate went and purchased another of Kingfisher's books and added a couple more to my TBR list.
Lovely and haunting. I know this one will stick with me.
