I loved the concept of this book through and through. The fairytale retelling, the rich world-building, the whimsical sort of horror were all great and just what I was hoping for. But there were a lot of fantastic elements in theory that just didn't quite come together in execution for me, a lot of important knowledge we learn far too late in the story, and the characters just didn't have the depth they needed. Overall, it makes me interested to read her second book, Sweet Favors, to see if these things improved. ( )
what happens when you mix the culture of the Iron Islands, Cuthulu, the Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses movie, and YA drama? this book is what happens. ( )
I really did enjoy the book. I wish there was some type of family tree to make the understanding of who the sisters where because it was hard to remember who is who. I thought this was such a eery read and it was super compelling. I really did enjoy the setting of the book and also the main character as well. I thought the world building in this book could have been stronger at points and clearer. I really did enjoy the romance that was tossed in and it was very fast pace read. Sometime the framework and the plot was harder to follow, but overall if you are looking for a creepy fall read set at a beach place with fairytale tossed in, this might be the read for you. ( )
