Gaslight & Grimm: Steampunk Faerie Tales by Jody Lynn Nye
3.0
I received a copy through Netgalley in return for an honest review.
I love steampunk and I really like fairy tales and folklore, so this book seemed to have a perfect setting.
That said, I didn't always like the way the stories were retold. Often they were stripped from their dark, age-old setting, and the new setting did not seem to fit properly - nor did it have the magic undertond both fairy tales and steampunk definately have.
The book was nice enough, but it just didn't spark joy.
