"Two roads lead into a dark forest. They meet at Greymist Fair, the village hidden in the trees, a place kept alive by the families that never leave. The people of Greymist Fair know the woods are a dangerous and magical place, and to set foot off the road is to invite trouble. When Heike, the village's young tailor, discovers a body on the road, she goes looking for who is responsible. But her quest only leads to more strange happenings around Greymist Fair. Inspired by the original, bloody, lesser-known fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, acclaimed author Francesca Zappia crafts an enthralling murder-mystery that will keep readers turning the pages. Told from multiple points of view, with each narrative building on the crime discovered by Heike, Greymist Fair examines the themes of childhood fears, growing into adult responsibilities, and finding a place to call home amid the trials of life and death"--… (mere)

LOVED this book so hard! This is my favorite Zappia novel to date. I loved this village and all the people in it. The storytelling was beautiful - if the characters aged up, this would easily read as an adult novel. This is one book that I plan on keeping and re-reading. Greymist Fair is a little village in the middle of the woods, some people never make it there and the villagers never leave. They know to stay out of the forests, for death lurks within. Each tale is a retelling of old Grim fairy tales and they all connect to the town. The Grim tales that are "retold" aren't necessarily the common ones and most children would never know them. I myself didn't know a few. The storytelling is beautiful, the setting is beautiful, the characters are complicated and interesting. ( )

A twisting, interesting lesser-known fairytales retelling in this story about Death and the dark forest he calls home. It weaves together the lives of those who live in Greymist Fair, and the magic that links them through love, hate, and betrayal. I was thoroughly enchanted from beginning to end! ( )

The story might seem dark and scary to some, but I found it more lyrical and one I could easily visualize while reading it. Take a prince enamored of his ability to grant wishes so much that he loses perspective, add in death as a lonely fellow, a village that believes itself a prisoner of an evil witch and mythical wargs that pursue and devour those who fear them. Not all is as it seems and when you get further into the tale, you'll find out the truth. I very much enjoyed these discoveries. ( )

Lovely fairy tale about a village, Death and magic. ( )

Two stars for the rich descriptions. Nothing happens in this, but I like how the author describes things. The characters never get to the fair. The title is misleading. This is a character study, and the characters are only tangentially related. I finished it because I was waiting for a more interesting book to come in. ( )
