No spoilers, but I can’t review just one book in this series. These are all so well crafted and carefully plotted, and they nest so well, each fitting neatly in the one that follows as the cast grows. They creatively use the fairy tales upon which they are based without being to nod-and-wink about it. And the characters have wonderful, unique voices. Even the ones who initially seem like stereotypes get richer and more likable as the series goes on. By the end, the climax is earned and just enough of the loose ends are tied up to pay homage to the source material without beating the reader over the head with the happily-ever-after. I’m very glad I came late to this series so I didn’t have to wait between books and could consume all of them straight in a row. Devour these. You won’t get indigestion, I promise.
