It is lively, perky and interesting. While the author notes it is \"a re-casting of Hansel \u0026amp; Gretel with a Norse twist,\" I found the storyline to be much more creative and original. I am looking forward to reading more from J.M. Ney-Grimm!\" -W. Walsh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The writing style is fantastic. It's somehow youthful (as it's through the eyes of a twelve year old) and mature at the same time. Normally, it would be a challenge to discuss...responsibility, loyalty and forgiveness with such a young \"voice,\" but Ney-Grimm does so easily. The result is a thought provoking tale...Heartily recommended, and it's made me look forward to reading more of her work!\" -James J.
