The fun part of this story lies in the way Weston nonchalantly weaves in characters and elements from various fairy tales. Fortunately, he doesn't go overboard and try to include too many; there are just enough to make you chuckle a little when they appear.
I enjoyed the original premise and creative allusions, and I was engaged during the first half of the book, but I just wasn't feeling the suspense in the latter half. Others might respond differently, and I'd encourage anyone (especially young adults) who's at all interested to give it a try.
