Oh this is dark dark stuff, I found it enthralling, but it's a book to have something happy and light lined up afterwards. This is not your light, easy read, this stuff is grim and it takes a twist on the Grimm tales and amps up the agency for the female characters.

These are not your average fairy tale but they're damned good.

Vaughan reminded me of Aubrey Bearsley or Harry Clarke with a modern more sparse twist and I was very impressed by them. These are not your average fairy tale but they're damned good.
