so-soI really liked the concept of these queer fairy tale retellings, I think I just didn't care for some of the stories that were chosen to retell. There were two stories that I really loved but the rest left me feeling meh. Beautiful art though, I loved the colored pencil designs. I don't know if the author is planning another collection like this in future but I would give it a go if they do
pickI loved how equally fairytale and down with the establishment this book was. The stories were cute and sometimes funny. I had never heard of half the fairytales in here, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. 5⭐️
pickEven though fairy tales aren‘t usually my jam, these wholesome stories offered cool twists to some of the fairy tale tropes, enough to make them enjoyable even for an adult. I love the queer elements and the art is great- cartoony at times, but lovely vibrant colors and even pastel shades, all done with colored pencils. Overall, a lovely book, but a low pick just because it wasn‘t my usual thing.

so-so3.5 stars- I liked the feminist twist and new fairy tales. However, I'd say it's a bit more middle-grade than YA. It was a fun and VERY quick read!
The pastel rainbow of this queer alt-fairytale book cover goes well with this “Roller“ hand dyed yarn, part of the Birds collection at Wool And Works. #litsycrafters #booksandyarn
