Trehan utilizes a quiet, dreamlike tone, lending to the retold fairy tale ambiance of the novel as the kingdom’s tragic history unfolds in flashbacks and tales from Ela’s storybook. Past and present and magic and science blend together in an introspective manner that assists in the gradual peeling back of this story’s many layers to reveal its secrets
