“Harriet was not good at waiting. Most of her adventures involved whacking things. She was very good it whacking things. (Also smiting, something, and general mayhem.) But waiting… All she could think about was how easily things could go wrong.“
pickAnother adorable take on a fairytale (The 12 Dancing Princesses) by Ursula Vernon. Read it in one day.
pickPrincess Harriet takes on the curse that makes 12 Princesses dance all night long. She'd rather be out knocking sense into Ogres but such is her reputation that they've all gone vegetarian and started being good citizens. Nothing goes smoothly but Harriet doesn't let that slow her down. Brilliant!
That's a big NO to cruelty in general and animal cruelty in particular.
When you point someone in the right direction but they want you to do all the work...
