I know people enjoy a backstory of well-known villains. I, apparently, do not.
Xifeng is fated to become the evil queen of Snow White fame—but I found her reasons for embracing darkness & cruelty unimpressive. She was all over the place emotionally & there were too many annoying contradictions for me to care. She & her BFF just felt like imperial court mean girls. I can respect a quality villain (Lady Sun) but I was bored by Xifeng‘s beauty BS.

aeeklund I totally had trouble with this one, too. DNF. 6y
elkeOriginal @aeeklund I almost DNF‘d but kept hoping to get something out of it! She‘s a #garbageperson. But not even an interesting one. 6y

aeeklund @elkeo I‘m trying to decide if I want to push through it, since I just got the arc of the sequel/companion (about the Snow White character). Not sure... 6y
elkeOriginal @aeeklund That is tough because I think the sequel should be good/better - when she gets what deserves! 6y
Jess_Read_This 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Yes!!! Perfectly said review! Lady Sun was a quality villain... better than reading about Xifeng‘s whining, emotional neediness, and truly she didn‘t bring much to the table w power 6y
ScorpioBookDreams I‘ve got this on my TBR but I don‘t think I‘ll rush to read it now! 6y

Gorgeously written book straddling the dark fairytaley Hinterland created by Alice‘s author grandmother & our reality—the wall between is thinning and surprising weirdness abounds.
How the current play of events is interspersed with pieces of Hinterland tales = AMAZING.
I haven‘t been this excited by twists & reveals in a long time. Just. Loved. It.
Now if only the original book of Hinterland tales were real...
