The struggle against not-so-charming storybook narratives isn’t the only complicating factor in Henrietta “Henry” Marchen’s life. As part of the ATI Management Bureau team protecting the world from fairy tales gone awry, she’s juggling her unwanted new status as a Snow White, dealing with a potentially dangerous Pied Piper, and wrangling a most troublesome wicked stepsister—along with a budding relationship with Jeff, her teammate.

But when a twisted, vicious Cinderella breaks out of prison and wreaks havoc, things go from disenchanted to deadly. And once Henry realizes someone is trying to use her to destroy the world, her story becomes far from over—and this one might not have a happily ever after.


I think I possibly liked this one a tiny bit better than the first book in the series... possibly because I knew what to expect this time ;-) I love all the reminders of fairy tales I haven't read in literally decades, and the hints Seanan McGuire throws at the reader along the way.

Sloane is definitely my favourite character (yes, even more than Henrietta), and I really appreciated the additional insight we got into her background story this time around.
