I do like a retelling, taking something familiar and spinning it on its head.
Here we have Margery, who if you believe her, lands up I awful circumstances through no fault of her own. She's a victim of circumstances.
I liked how Todd was just a murderous grumpy git, not the avenging wrongly done by man we thought we knew.
My main problem with the book was the speed at which things happened.
Both escapes, the relationship, the idea to turn a man into pie...
I enjoyed the light relief brought by Emily's correspondence with her father.
Then the last few pages left me with a smell, wondering how it could have ended any other way.
