A note for parents
This is a dark fairy-tale novella from Bardugo's Grishaverse that explores themes of beauty, jealousy, and dangerous parental choices. The story contains fantasy violence and disturbing thematic content that skews older than typical middle-grade fantasy. While brief at 32 pages, it's atmospheric and morally complex rather than action-driven, making it better suited for teen readers who appreciate darker reimaginings of fairy tales.
