pick4.2⭐️ This is quite a twist on the Sleeping Beauty legend, but I really enjoyed it. I expected more with the ending, but Im not quite sure what more would look like. Definitely a quick and easy read by Kingfisher, but still feel that it is absolutely worth the time.
I picked up one of those "blind date with a book" deals at the bookstore and this was my prize. The prompt was "For the reader who loves an endearing outsider, fairy tale retellings, and a hint of tragedy." It might not be my very next read, but I am looking forward to it when I do get into it.
pickAbsolutely fantastic version of sleeping beauty. I really love when authors take an existing fairytale and completely turn it on its head.
Nevermind the astonishing amount of cat hair. Bastet has been rolling around.
Stormy outside, cozy inside.
This one is so good so far. I love T. Kingfisher's writing.

pickThis was a fun little read. This is a fairy tale retelling of Sleeping Beauty. What if the fairy gifts weren‘t to protect the Princess, but to protect others *from* the Princess? It really is a charming little novella. Give it a go!
so-soThe princess is cursed to die by a spindle, she is stolen away & raised as ordinary. But her fairy gifts cause problems, & there is still the curse to worry about.
The scene setting is unparalleled, as I expected from McKinley, but lord the plot is glacial. I think I would have enjoyed this better as an audiobook as the writing is lush & lyrical. & I wasn‘t invested in the romance. I kept thinking Rosie & Peony should get together.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
