*Trigger Warning for this book - eating disorder (bulimia), self harm thoughts, sexual assault* There is no trigger warning in the book description, but there should be.

Besides that, I absolutely loved this book. Even more than her previous book the Wolf and the Woodsman. While her previous book was great, this folktale was just the perfect match for Reid’s poetic and lyrical writing style. It made the gruesome and dark haunting and sometimes even achingly beautiful. I felt like I was reading a brother’s grim story in the best way. Great book, just be mindful of triggers!

A hauntingly beautiful folktale. If you like the brothers grimm this is the story for you.

I hesitated at first because it's not really my type of story usually but it's so beautifully written and narrated. I have no regret at all. It's a dark fantasy with a romance subplot that's very reminiscent of Slav folktales. I loved it and it's probably going to be in my top ten this year.

Beautiful

Title says it all. Reid achieves a rare depth of intimate horror that will keep you in its grip. Earbuds recommended, it do be narsty

A horny guilty whirlwind of emotions

Don’t go in thinking this story will follow the story arc of The Juniper Tree, because it doesn’t. I kept looking for parallels that didn’t exist, and missed a lot of other things in the process.

And still, I predicted the twist around 10% in.

I didn’t care about any of the characters, and by the end I just wanted it to be over. Beautifully written, but so incredibly dreary and filled with trauma and despair that the body horror didn’t feel horrific.

There was no fairy tale whimsy to make the horror feel shocking. It was more like: well yeah, of course that happened. Nothing is good, everything is bad. End of story.

Juniper Tree Inspired, but not a retelling
