I loved this little story so much! It’s a quick retelling of Sleeping Beauty with great prose

Quick and delightful. I love that even in a story this short, the author can fully flesh out her characters with her signature flair for describing extraordinarily ordinary details that make them so relatable, even when they’re toads. I fell right into the world of Toadling and loved watching her interact with Halim. Some of the timeline/world shifts and dark twists were a little hard for me to follow, but that could definitely be a just me thing. I may try to pick up a copy of this one in print to revisit the latter third, but in any case, it was deeply enjoyable and I will definitely continue to read my way through T Kingfisher’s body of work.

3.5 stars. This was cute and interesting twist on Sleeping Beauty.

Halim is one of the sweetest men I’ve ever read

Sweet little novella. The first chapter or two are a bit slow but then the pace picks up exponentially and I really enjoyed it! Very different to the Paladins books by the author which I devoured earlier this year, but still charming
