Prose: The prose here is inconsistent—some passages are very strong, while others fail to live up to the same high standard.
Originality: An original take on a traditional story. While some elements will be familiar to readers, the writing is fresh enough to elevate the plot—in part, because of the strong characters.
Character Development: This novel features very well rendered characters. They are the best part of this book. Jes Delaney is a sympathetic protagonist.
