A friend recommended this book so I gave it a shot. It’s a fantasy/fairy tale novel about a lonely princess who goes through trauma of the worst imaginable kind and how she copes. Her best friend is her dog Ash. They escape from their kingdom to a hut in the mountains to deal. Then they find another kingdom, then well… I don’t want to ruin it for you. It’s pretty predictable regardless. I did not like the diction used in this book for some reason. Usually when I come across a word I don’t know I look it up, but I found myself uninterested in doing this for this novel. Perhaps I was just being lazy or realized I would never have the occasion to dress my vocabulary as hers.
It was ok, it kept me entertained.
