Alix Harrow is slowly but surely becoming one of my fave writters. Sometimes you really have to change your own story to be happy.

I loved this reimagined feminist version of Sleeping Beauty! 

I can’t believe I waited so long to read this.

Cute retelling of Sleeping Beauty where Sleeping Beauty is a lesbian who was blessed rather than cursed.

I enjoyed it! Only serious when it needs to be, and fun all the rest of the time.
I actually always loved the story of Sleeping Beauty, and making a modern "princess" with a terminal illness was a great new take on an old tale.
