Wow. I'm surprised this was a debut novel. The writing is excellent. The plot unfolds at a perfect pace, revealing just enough to keep you guessing and believing that you think you know what's going to happen. Characters could use more depth, but as this is the first in a series, I'm hoping subsequent books will amend that issue. If my guesses are correct, this is a wonderful new twist on some old fairy tales/legends. I can't wait for the next installment, and the official release date isn't even here yet! Argh. Please write fast, Ms. Jensen.
