Rating: 4/5
Disclaimer: I received a free ecopy in exchange for an honest review.
This book is a nice alternate take on Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf and the girl switch places, which works wonderfully in this telling. It is dark at times. Some people might be put off by that, but it harkens back to old school fairytales.
At the same time, this goes beyond what I would expect from a retelling. About halfway through the creator shows how the history of the characters intertwine. That made the story much deeper for me. I am really pleased with how the book ends because it works so well with the rest of the story.
The art is fantastic. It's worth picking up for the art alone. I feel like it is a great complement to the story.
