Welcome to Litsy!

‘London 1905- It begins when a toymaker comes bearing a unique Christmas gift for his favorite niece, Olivia: a handsomely carved nutcracker doll.‘

Finished in August. This was my December pick for the 2024 #FairytaleReadingChallenge.

This is a very dark and mature reimagining. It‘s more like a horror story. Very well written.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I quite enjoyed the meandering tale of Dirk Drosselmeier and definitely preferred this to Wicked.
However, I would have preferred to actually see Hiddensee in the book, and have more than a glancing paragraph to cover the actual nutcracker narrative. It would have also been nice to have some closure about the lost forest rather than it being open to interpretation.
I had fun reading it anyway!
