The first third is essentially an edgy ‘Beauty and the Beast' retelling followed by a plot that devolves into mythology/every-fairy-tale-ever bargain with three tasks.
The characters are often frustrating and half the time the ‘attractive' men came off as mercurial (if I am being kind) or emotionally unstable (if I am not).
That said, I read this book in two days. The ending is satisfying and I had a really good time yelling at the protagonist.
All in all I can't in good conscience call it a good book but I can say it was oddly enjoyable to read despite that.
