Customer Reviews

Dark realistic fairytale

At first I thought, “oh no, a try hard book” eye roll. Then, I thought, “redundant. Sigh.” And then, I landed on, “hmmm interesting, different, oddly believable.” My recommendation would be to go into this novel blind. But know that there is a considerable and consistent cannibalism theme.

Thumbs up emoji

This book is for someone. No one would accuse it of being unoriginal. It made me, a straight, white, blue collar male who’s normally into the darker stories about ladies who like ladies a little uncomfortable at times. That’s probably a good thing. To be clear, this is a positive review.

Middle of the road on it

This book struggled to hold my attention at times- it was only towards the end that I couldn’t put it down. I think the overall quality of the book was good, but it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea and left me feeling unsatisfied. This is just my opinion and I’m sure there are many people who love this book! There were several elements I thoroughly enjoyed- having it set in the young daughter’s perspective was interesting, and several scenes were heart wrenching, but I’m not sure if I’d read it again.
