4.0

Wynn is a great protagonist, and I loved her adventures in the first half of the book. But I didn't really enjoy the rest of it, after Wynn met her love interest. After that point, the story became very much like a Disney fairy tale, with a really traditional presentation of gender roles, which is the main thing that prevents me from reading a lot of het romances. So, this wasn't really my kind of book.

But it's all done well, with a straightforward writing style and a simple plot. I'm sorry to see this book has not gotten too much attention here on Goodreads, because I know it would appeal to many people. I'll definitely keep it in mind as a recommendation for people looking to read happy stories with trans protagonists.

Very cute novella with trans protagonist! The fluid inclusion of other fairy tales was a nerdy delight and I applaud that Harrison chose to go beyond the typical "marriage plot" to absolutely secure that happily ever after and ensure Wynn's continued gender euphoria.
