I wish they had samplers so I could prepare myself for this one (because I know I'm going to read it regardless).

I also can see how all the magic could get in the way of the connection. That can make or break a book for me, but if you still enjoyed it I think it wouldn't get in my way. Brilly review! I also checked and my library has it on order!

The original fairy tale is utterly weird and wonderful - so I'm all in to see how this modern retake is done.
