This is a shorter fantasy read. For me, the world building and character development was lacking and I was bored. However, a lot of the book club group did enjoy this one.

This is written in classic faery tale style. It has a sex scene in the first and maybe second chapter of the book relevant to the story but a little descriptive, and the magic system is like the old tyme magic where you're not sure exactly what will happen. Not for children, and a little trippy, but ties up at the end nicely.

It's Gaiman's stories like this one that will have people decades down the pike reading them just as they do Grimms' Fairy Tales today.
