3.5 // I think I was expecting something else, and so I was a little bit disappointed. I'll have to revisit at some point! I really enjoy the stories though.
I would have read this in one sitting if my phone battery hadn't run out! Each tale entices you further in to the mysterious lands of princesses, witches, curses and love. Each teller shows us a different angle of the traditional stories, individualising them through the first-person narration. The short story cycle has the recounter ask a question from another character which leads to the next tale. I liked this at first but found it grated slightly on repetition. Overall, it is an enjoyable twist on traditional fairy tales with a focus on the female experience.
