through a blender darkly ...

The Woodcutter after which the book is named, is the protector of the inhabitants of the 12 kingdoms, in which the action takes place (s). First, after a
looking idyllic life and work, he is quickly thrown into a completely different kind of story, as he finds a dead Cinderella, the whole
is obviously not different naturally. Not long after, even Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother being murdered and the Woodcutter
embarks on a quest through the 12 kingdoms, to find out what is going wrong in the fairy-tale realm.

Initially somewhat problematic to read because you do not really know what is happening, where you are and in what way (Grimm'scher)
Story you put, already one reads itself quite quickly in history. After a while, you think you know what's going on and what you
has to be expected based on the known stories, but is quickly taken out this certainty because dissolve the individual fairytale storylines,
new mix, go in another direction and eventually continued completely original.

Overall my Woodcutter has quite liked the last certain something that I can not bennenen interestingly, but has been lacking. I
read the book with interest, but was not beaten in the spell of the story. Nevertheless, I still forgive 4 stars because the thought
is still running at a very peculiar and well behind the book.

4 stars
