The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

We stalled about 3/4s of the way through. I thought we'd never return, but 5 or so months later we did and were happy we did. It was clever, often dark and I enjoyed the fairy-tale meta commentary (to a point). I didn't like that it was the start if a series (although the boys did). I just wanted it to end.
