I read this all in one sitting kind of late at night so I'm still reeling a bit. Maybe should wait for it to settle before I review but meh.
It wasn't quite the “take the old tale and twist it a little” I expected so much as it was a complete reinvention built on the crumbling foundation of the old tale, but damn if it didn't donkey kick me in the feels right at the end. The plot is sort of meandery and the non-linear format is occasionally a little slippery for the brain, but the depth of the writing is where the book really shines. It immersed me good.
