“I like seeking places where I can be free. Where I don’t have to be a boy to thread new paths, or a girl to want flowers blossoming throughout my life. I like discovering places where I can be everything I am at once, where I am not forced into any one shape, or stained by any single colour.”
Thank you Net-galley for providing me with an E-arc for review!!
First and foremost, more retellings of The Last Unicorn is not a want, but a need. This was such a whimsical and folkloric delight, steeped in culture & lore and I was so whisked away by the fairytale storytelling, I binged it all in one sitting & immediately put on the last unicorn film to feel something. This book has so many beautiful conversations throughout, and at times tough conversations, but handled with immense grace, and care. I have another book by this author sitting on my bookshelves & I’m very excited to experience more by them!!
