My Take
The book began a bit slowly, but by the time I was halfway through I couldn't put it down. The characters began to round out and the tensions rose. Unexpected plot twists kept me guessing until the very end.
A great book for fairytale fans.
How do you find so many cool books?? I am excited to read this one. I'm with you, I love young adult literature! I'll be checking up on this blog from now on :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chiara! Glad it's not just me and a bunch of teenagers reading these. I really think a lot of books for teens are very well-written. They have to be enthralling or teens won't read them.
