About this listen

What becomes of the girl who kills a witch? Be prepared to question everything you once knew in this Hansel & Gretel retelling for fans of Kalynn Bayron and Jennifer Donnelly.

Gretel loves her brother, Hansel, but lately she barely recognizes him. It's been months since that terrible day in the cottage, when she found her brother in grave danger and had to kill the witch. Her life has changed completely since then—she now lives in a big castle with Hansel and their father, forced to wear corsets and dance with boring, old men at balls.

One day, while wandering in the woods next to their new property, Gretel comes across a community of witches. But what she sees is nothing like the stories she's heard. These witches are healers, helping those in need.

Gretel must dig deep to find the truth of what really happened that day in the cottage. And when she's forced to confront everything she knows about her family and the world around her, she must decide where her true alliances lay.

Quite a big chunk of this story felt kind of repetitive but nonetheless it was an enjoyable and thrilling book accompanied by a great performance

The narration was atmospheric and on point

I wasn’t immediately sure about this book. The first few chapters didn’t grab me but I’m really glad I stuck with it. I had a sense of fear and dread about half way through that lasted for many chapters with my worry and distrust around various characters. All in all, a great retelling of Hansel & Gretel.

Interesting take on old tale
