And retellings end up losing the dark charm of the original tale more often than not!Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-66171640706696775052015-04-24T06:57:31.377+02:002015-04-24T06:57:31.377+02:00I'm excited for this one!

I loved Cruel Beauty - though I thought the last third of the book could have been slowed down because I was hella confused in places - and am looking forward to this one even more. I think Hodge is an extraordinarily gifted writer and I loved reading her first book! Everything I've seen her write in the tour has made me an even bigger fan, tho.<br /><br />And I totally hear you. I usually side-eye fairy tale retellings (there's something about the language that I don't quite like? as well as the whole use of archetypes? I feel meh about it) but I am so excited for this one, Pili!!Layla @ The Midnight Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602535333707510550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-4283876267583359642015-04-23T23:14:29.574+02:002015-04-23T23:14:29.574+02:00Ohhhh, cannot wait to hear what you think Lisa!Ohhhh, cannot wait to hear what you think Lisa!Pilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235628363081574896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541582388948046827.post-38988871171239130662015-04-23T23:12:42.971+02:002015-04-23T23:12:42.971+02:00I haven't read Cruel Beauty yet, so I don'...I haven't read Cruel Beauty yet, so I don't have any other preconceptions about this one!
