Just meh. I like retellings as much as the next girl, but I think I'll be skipping this one. Even if I do usually really enjoy reading from the villain's perspective. Oh, well.

I feel like that story has been done too many times.

I really enjoyed it, but I agree it wasn't necessarily a page turner that was going to keep you up late reading:) I'm mildly obsessed with fairytale retellings at the moment, I just can't get enough of them, so I devoured this story.

It has a promising premises but the fact that this left you feeling so apathetic isn't a good sign.

I'm not sure I really want to read it now, considering I've gotten pickier over the years, and I'd really rather read something astounding than something "it was okay, but it was nothing special". And the fact it's slow in places make me cringe! Unless it's character-driven, I could tolerate it, but if the story is not moving at all, I may just throw at to a wall in frustration. Thanks for the review, lovely!<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-52018260026859079252014-07-09T01:23:48.836-04:002014-07-09T01:23:48.836-04:00This one sounds like it could be phenomenal.
