Much more harsh. It feels like a blend of satire and modern day fable. Based on an old English fable. There is nothing lyrical about Headley’s writing. It’s a bit like being shoved- she makes you pay attention.

I was hooked at just the title with my curiosity, but it sounds so different than what I would have expected. On the library list this goes!

I loved retellings in Circe and Song of Achilles. How does this compare to those?
