Review
I have seen people read this book in the past two years and decided that it should be time for me read this book. Unfortunately, I could not find this book anywhere. I decided to participate in a giveaway from @obsessive_bibliomaniac on Instagram, and I won!
I started reading this book and thought that it was just gonna be another fairytale story, but I was wrong. This book was the opposite: it was a dark story with loads of unexpected events. I did not expect this at all. All the fairy tales from the book were very dark and mysterious. This is what kept you on reading because you really wanted to find out how this book would end and whether you could unravel all the dark fairy tales.
Melissa Alberts writing style is quick and smooth, but sometimes I struggled to get through this book. I read this book in English (maybe that’s why), but I didn’t get through this book quickly. Albert did, however, succeed in writing this book very mysteriously.
Conclusion
A mysterious book with loads of unexpected events. I would definitely recommend this if you like fantasy books, or if you just want a good read.
