so-soI thought this was a fun and unique spin on how the story of Sleeping Beauty came about. It did have a bit of a slow start but it definitely picked up. I would give it 3 stars.

pick4.5 ⭐ You know that feeling when you have waited too long to read a really good book. I‘m living that now. I‘ve had Thornhedge since it came out and I already know I love T. Kingfisher. But no, I waited on this. The story that this woman can put in 111 pages. It‘s sweet, it‘s uplifting, it‘s happy, it‘s fascinating. Let the adjectives continue. This is a sleeping beauty retelling that imagines a different villain and a different reason
so-soA short novella. I liked the concept but I wish it would have been a full novel with more character development and world building. A little heavy with themes of sexual assault so be warned before you begin. I loved the feminist themes but it just didn‘t land for me as a great retelling of a Sleeping Beauty story.
pickA fantastic retelling of Sleeping Beauty. A reverse where the princess is evil and the fairy is good. I love T. Kingfisher‘s books and this novella didn‘t disappoint.
Book 8/100 of the year.
A Thousand Nights series

pickTook longer for me to get into this one than it has with some other books I‘ve read recently. I think this was a good retelling with a hint of Nightmare on Elm Street. Not my favorite of the Twisted Tales so far, but I still enjoyed it overall. #onceuponadream #lizbraswell #library #hardcover #disney #sleepingbeauty #aurora #fairytale #retelling

pickThis was a great story. I‘ve been in a T kingfisher mood lately and are loving reading through their works, a lot of which are a nice short length. This one is a sleeping beauty retelling with a twist. Very fun 😻
pick4/5 ?????
"No. I have many mothers. If I am hideous, then we are hideous together. And that made it easier, because in her heart of hearts, she could not believe that her mothers were anything but beautiful."
