A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

adventurous informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

I’ve loved every book I’ve read by Alix E Harrow and this definitely makes the list too! I love a good fairytale retelling and haven’t read any sleeping beauty ones so I was excited for this. 

I really liked the main character Zinnia and her friendship with Charm and their text conversations. I felt this had a nice blend of fairytale and real life. It handled chronic illness well in my opinion without having an unrealistic ending. I was invested from beginning to end. It’s a nice quick read as a novella! I would have read more and enjoyed further development of these characters but I was content with what’s here given the format. 

Favorite line: “Well Harold, I say gently. They’re lesbians” I’M SCREAMING.

I’d recommend this if you like novellas,  fantasy and cute wlw rep.
