At first glance, it might be quite difficult to pin down exactly what time period the book is set in. Going into it, I treated the book as if it were set in the present day – but, as the story progressed, I began to realise that it wasn't. Then again, that is kind of the point; the story is meant to feel timeless, like a Hansel-and-Gretel-esque fairy tale, which I think it does very well. The plot also gets increasingly mind-screwy the further in you get, the many twists and turns practically making your hair stand up on end every other page.
