Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to love this based on the idea of taking a Grimm fairytale and setting it in a historical real-life setting to create something interesting but instead, I got an odd mishmash of chapters that didn't' feel as they all belonged in the same book.

Well documented research can be read in 3/4 of the story as it depicts WWI but the story was ok.

Writing ????/5
The words were substantial and I was drawn to the meanings behind each chapters. But I couldn't help to feel that some parts were elaborated too detail that I came to boredom.

Story ????/5
Of course, i adore the story! It is heartwarming, and makes me reflect my own humanity. I finished this book with a new mindset. Also, it is not an expected story. "It is a fable," as Miss Williams had said.

I. No one said anything about the condition of the body, though it was without the weight and rigor of death.

Just started a new book. The opening line is pretty captivating.

I received this from #netgalley in exchange for my review. Interesting story of a WWI veteran and a young woman who both have traumatic pasts and their developing relationship. Inspired by the Grimm‘s story, The Bearskin, there are elements of magical realism in the story. The writing was good, but the fairy tales and long flashbacks often detracted from the more compelling main story. 3⭐️

Between a pick and a so-so for me. The writing is imaginative, the descriptions of WWI trenches are powerful, but the fairytales, though dark, were confusing and abrupt. Still, an engaging story with magical elements.
