Picked this up not knowing much about it. Liked how the tale spun out and you learned more and more about the monster. On a bit of a fantasy reading kick recently and this fit the bill. Really enjoyed it.

Wasn‘t sure how things would go after the first book, but Ms Broadbent pulled it off. 😊

Loved it! That ending…saw part of it coming but did not expect it all. Ran to the library for book two the next day. lol

Book 4 FINALLY came in at the library after months of being on hold. Yay! That being said, I kind of hope this is Kawaguchi's last installment in this series. As much as I liked books one and two, book three and now four have fallen somewhat flat for me. The concepts behind the stories are still well and good, but something about the writing and the timing just seems off to me. ⭐⭐⭐ + 1/2 ⭐
Not sure why this has such a low rating on here! This was funny, light but nuanced, and overall a clever subversion of familiar tropes (& stereotypes/double binds familiar to most women with time and experience). I think it pairs well with the traditional fairytales mentioned (Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel) to offer grounding and an alternate perspective. ⚖️🤷🏻♀️💅🏻✨💖
“Faraway” Collection on Amazon complete - this was my fave.
