At first I was completely confused with this story but something about it compelled me to keep reading. Like I had to figure out what was going one and why Halley such a head case. When the action started in the second chapter, I found my reading groove and really enjoyed this story. The book reminds me a little of The Iron Fey series but with way more twists. Fowers plays off fairy tales that we grew up watching on Disney and mixes it with faery lore. Very interesting. A wonderful idea not quite executed as well as it could have been. Love the idea of the fairies, but the main twist of who Halley is was blindingly obvious almost immediately. There were too many giveaways for many such little twists that ruined the reveals. The writing was confusing at times as well. Reading some of the next book which was included however, the writing seems to be improving in that regard, so I would continue with the next in the series.
Cute clean and original take on fairy stories. :)
