Black Thorn, White Rose by Ellen Datlow, Terri Windling

4.0

A short story collection is always hard to rate, because naturally I find that some stories are better than others, or have a greater impact on me, and I'll turn back to those ones again in the future but leave others behind. This collection of fable & storybook retellings was no different, but those stories I did love truly stood out from the pack. Big shoutout to my therapist Ashley for recommending this to me to get me out of a particularly bad reading slump. I can't wait to check out the rest of this series to find more soul-bearing retellings of classic stories to fall in love with all over again.
