Gods, I'm so envious of Lanagan's prose. There's an ease to her writing that's just beautiful to read, and her style is so lyrical and poetic that it makes me want to cry.That being said, I didn't find this one quite as good as The Brides of Rollrock Island.

I had this book for my haul, but I left my reading material at home today and luckily, this was in the back of my car. 30 pages in, and I was too creeped out to continue.

It took me until page 63 to realize this is an adaptation of "Snow White & Rose Red" and that made me feel a bit dumb since that fairy tale is one of my favorites. I should have just read the author bio first and I'd have walked into this knowing what it was about.I read this because I'd read one of...
