A Curse So Dark and Lonely

I went in thinking I'd love it, then three chapters in I thought I was going to hate it. In the end, I felt as I do with some YA: so impressed that an author was able to fill a book with such a depth of complexity of individuals and character relationships in a short amount of pages. And what an imaginative reinvention of a story I thought I knew. I thought it is brilliant for what it is.
