Ash and Bramble
by Sarah Prineas
What a charming, clever little book! She took a fairy tale--a lot of fairy tales--and turned it into a controlling monster. Her people--Pin, Shoe, and many others--have only to escape the all-compelling story...if they're ever to have a life.
I hope this isn't telling too much, but it's pretty obvious from the get-go. The book isn't obvious, though--not in the slightest. It's subtle, understated, even a little bit vague...but so compelling that once you pick it up you won't put it down again till it's done.
(At least I didn't)
