This 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 😻

4/5 ?????

"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."

This novella is a wonderful retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a fascinating twist on the story we know.

Kingfisher turns the story of Sleeping Beauty on its head in this one where a fairy stands guardian over a maiden in a tower who should, under no circumstances, be awakened unless those who do so long for the end of the world (more or less). Long after everyone who knew about the tower & the maiden should be dead, stories still draw people to the tower & one day a knight shows up determined to learn the truth. Fabulous fairy tale retelling.

Thornhedge is a 2024 Hugo Best Novella nominee, and it is a solid story, as are all of T. Kingfisher's works that I've read. This is a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story, with a number of unexpected twists. #hugo2024 #hugoawards

If this book had been around when we were kids my brothers and I would have been obsessed. Beautiful art, fascinating world design, and great emotional storytelling.

2.5 Stars • The Burning of Bridget Cleary by Angela Bourke is a historical account of a tragic event in 1895 Ireland. Bridget Cleary, a young woman, was killed by her husband and family members who believed she was a changeling, a fairy imposter. The incident sparked public outrage and was used to highlight the superstitions prevalent in rural Ireland at the time.
