Wow!
The beginning was everything. It nailed that perfect fairy tale vibe, and it had so much sass! The rhyming was super well done, and I appreciate the tropes being turned on their heads. I think this one has such potential. I would read more to find out how dark the story can get. I know it's middle grade, but it could really delve into some dark stuff. I was reeled in immediately! The cover is cute, but not my favorite. In fact, I think the cover caused me to go into this first look with low expectations, but I was more than pleasantly surprised to see this novel begin so strongly. I cannot wait to read more and disappear into this fantastical world that subverts expectations.
