I’m a huge fan of the dark fairy tale aspect of the story. It’s very well developed and interesting, and I love how the author incorporated a story within a story; it’s not something you see very often.
The characters are what really sell it for me. Alice is a very well rounded and complex protagonist; she may not be the most likable character, but her story is engaging and I love how well developed her backstory is. Her memories from her childhood really help to develop her personality for the audience and a lot of depth to her. Finch is one of my favorite characters from recent YA because he’s entertaining and deep at the same time. Like Alice, his trauma and backstory are very well written and really help show his depth.
The writing style is fantastic as well and it’s beautiful to read. It feels very poetic and deep yet realistic at the same time.

I can’t give any compliments to the plot because I didn’t know what was going on half the time, but the characters were interesting and well written, even though the only one I actually liked was Midnight. Also I really liked the writing style and that might’ve been my favorite part of the whole thing.
Overall, it wasn’t bad, but you definitely shouldn’t read it unless you want to be confused.
