I received this book from NetGalley for review
Going into this I didn't know the original folktale, but I sometimes prefer that so I can have my own expectations. Unfortunately, I think knowing the original story might would've parts of this more enjoyable.
While I liked the characters, where they ended up, and how they got there. The pacing kind of killed this book for me. It felt very slow going for much of the book. Some of what was happening felt a little meandering for me.
