Welcome to Litsy!

First off, trigger warning for diet culture and eating disorders, particularly anorexia. This book deals heavily with anorexia and the toxic diet industry, so please be aware of that. I thought the book did a good job exploring these two topics. I found all the discussion on the diet industry and how it is designed to fail to be so fascinating.

To my right sat Leif Olafsson the Giant Slayer, my former prisoner and soon-to-be husband and king.
A crow let out a caw-caw-caw just outside, and my lips curved in a slow smile.

This was an enchanting and unique fantasy read!

The story is described by many as Beauty and the Beast meets Howl‘s Moving Castle. I haven‘t seen Howl‘s Moving Castle so I can't comment on that. However, it does have major Beauty and the Beast vibes. As a Beauty and the Beast retelling, the story felt so refreshing because of the Polish folklore.

This was a fun read. It made me think a lot about what‘s going on in the world right now. It was an interesting story. It really makes you think about the present and the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had previously read the author‘s graphic novel, The Boy and the Man, which detailed the author‘s life and struggles recovering from his stroke. I enjoyed the graphic novel so I was excited to read his poetry collection.

This poetry collection is a poetry interpretation of the same events. I found this interpretation to be even better than the graphic novel.

This book reminded me a lot of the Magnus Chase series by Rick Riordan (I‘ve never read the Percy Jackson series but I assume it‘s similar to Magnus Chase). It had that same adventurous spirit.

The world building was well done. It was easy to understand and follow. The book included a map, which also aided in comprehension.
