beagley 's review for:
The Raven and the Reindeer
by T. Kingfisher
Really great. A well-written and frequently astonishing entry on the "adapt a classic fairy tale into a coming-of-age novel with modern sensibilities" genre. What sets it apart is successful humor, wisdom, and an underlying set of metaphors that I am still working on. There are some imperfections, but the whole is just a fantastic meal. I don’t want to adapt old fairytales—and maybe the ending lacked something?—but in all other ways this is precisely the sort of book I would like to write. Bravo.
