What a unique and fascinating story. I love how everything slowly unfolded. I thought it dragged a little sometimes because I was wondering what could happen next, but I can see the importance of each part in hindsight. There are definitely some fancy metaphors about fairy tales and churning out stories with happily-ever-afters. I'm honestly surprised more people didn't enjoy this one!

 First read: NOT a DNF. I'm enjoying it a lot but I won't be able to finish it before my vacation, and it needs to passed along the next person on the ARC Tour. Let me know if you have a copy I can borrow, friends!
