“One of Palatini’s signature devices is literary allusion; her characters ... engage in near-constant banter referencing other works. Her juxtaposition of folklore with popular culture hooks readers with the recognizable while inventing savvy, often surprising stories, a technique especially effective in her works featuring fairy tale characters.”
