This book is not for me at all. So much so that I can't even bring myself to finish it, which I hate doing. I'm halfway through and I'm just not interested in the story at all - not much has happened and I can't see it getting any better, to be honest.

Looking at other reviews, it seems to be based on a fairytale of some kind? I don't know whether knowing this beforehand would have helped or not, but I was certainly confused at some of the elements of this book. Not knowing about the fairytale aspect makes them seem totally random - like the talking horse, for example.

Yeah, had high hopes for it, but not for me, unfortunately.
