Welcome to Litsy!

A short novella. I liked the concept but I wish it would have been a full novel with more character development and world building. A little heavy with themes of sexual assault so be warned before you begin. I loved the feminist themes but it just didn‘t land for me as a great retelling of a Sleeping Beauty story.

A fantastic retelling of Sleeping Beauty. A reverse where the princess is evil and the fairy is good. I love T. Kingfisher‘s books and this novella didn‘t disappoint.

Book 8/100 of the year.

A Thousand Nights series

Took longer for me to get into this one than it has with some other books I‘ve read recently. I think this was a good retelling with a hint of Nightmare on Elm Street. Not my favorite of the Twisted Tales so far, but I still enjoyed it overall. #onceuponadream #lizbraswell #library #hardcover #disney #sleepingbeauty #aurora #fairytale #retelling

Excellent little novella! I‘ve had it for ever but never got around to it until this week. I love stories that bust up the traditional fairy tale tropes and this one certain does that!

This was a great story. I‘ve been in a T kingfisher mood lately and are loving reading through their works, a lot of which are a nice short length. This one is a sleeping beauty retelling with a twist. Very fun 😻

4/5 ?????

"No. I have many mothers. If I am hideous, then we are hideous together. And that made it easier, because in her heart of hearts, she could not believe that her mothers were anything but beautiful."

4✨A bit sad for this one. Abandoned and then shortly after found by the person that raises her. She goes through school to be a wish granting fairy. The other young fairies judge her differences. It also had an interesting spin on her interest in Aurora. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

The story is about a girl who sacrifices herself to save her sister from a king who kills his brides
