I adored this collection, particularly the first part where space serves as the conceit organizing the poems.
megnut's review against another edition
It just didn't pull me in like other poems have done.
I flipped forward to see some of the ones other people mentioned, but I don't think they were enough to keep me reading until the end.
It just fell a bit flat for me.

Something just fell a little flat for me. I don’t want to discourage anyone from reading this one, maybe you’ll love it. It just didn’t resonate with me as it didn’t felt orignal or exciting. The concept of using female characters from storybooks and mythology is something I’m divided on - on one hand I think it’s classic, and on the other I find it to be played out. Also, many of these poems read as prose, with no poetic form or function. I liked Nikita Gill’s other book I read recently, THESE ARE THE WORD, much better

I love all the fairytales and mythology that was included in these poems. I also love the encouragement and support conveyed throughout the book. Beautiful collection of poems!!!
