I really don’t know if I can put my feelings into words for this book. The beginning of it didn’t resonate quite as much as the first one and I wasn’t as invested but the ending absolutely split me open and despite it being fairly open ended I appreciated how it ended Zinnia’s story and felt it was fairly fitting 
Overall I really enjoyed reading this duology and would definitely recommend it

I absolutely love this style of reimagined multiverse fairy tale stories. They are intriguing and so fun! The whole “sick and dying girl who is self destructive” narrative got a little tiring this time around but the story was still great. I really love that the villains are given a voice behind why they were perceived as villains. This was a great listen and a great idea!

Another fun book in this series! I enjoyed how this one broke away from the first with the MC having more experience and then getting into a new fairytale. I'd love to see if there's going to be a next one!

A fun sequel to Alix’s A Spindle Splintered. The audiobook narrator for these does a fantastic job. Quick listen/read. LGBTQ+ rep.
