I loved The Thirteenth Tale so to get the chance to read an ARC of Diane Setterfield's new fairy tale book is so exciting! I love the cover, it's beautiful! And I didn't want to stop reading the excerpt. It was already as magical as The Thirteenth Tale and I know it's only going to get better. The background and setup for the book are the first few pages and you learn all you need to about the inn and its inhabitants. Then the real story begins!
