This is a difficult book to review. It was very well written, and I adored the darker fairy tale aspect. The author did an amazing job of portraying a new mother, already raw with all of the emotional and physical turmoil of bringing her twins into the world, who has to contend with supernatural threats against her children. However, it was at times too graphic for my tastes (especially the beginning passages describing her labor and delivery... I’ve given birth twice and could still barely read it). The strength is the vivid characters and the writing, and five stars for such a creative use of fairy tales and folklore.
