Fairytale Retellings Quotes

She moved fast as if something was driving her forward, some kind of reward or prize.”

“There are many ways to take a heart. And the King of Crows uses all methods; he shies from none. He’s happy to have it cut out all at once as I, the huntsman, did.

They are as sharp as knives and leave their victims hollow.”
