A review by krista_billings
A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
3.0
I've had to think for a moment about why I decided to give these two novellas (A Spindle Splintered and A Mirror Mended) only 3 stars.
I want anyone reading my review to know that I started my journey with Alix by reading The Once and Future Witches... Which just completely enchanted me. I fell in love with the voice and the style, and my favorite part was how the old tales were woven into the story line.
I think when I came to the novellas I was expecting something similar, and so while I didn't *hate* them, they disappointed me.
Dear readers, I think it's possible that Alix never intended for the two separate works to be similar (in voice)at all... They're a separate species of writing... And more power to this author for writing in that way!
So.... Please know that the 3 stars is only a reflection of my personal enjoyment of the novellas, and not an indication of my impression of the author's talent. ❤️
