Owl Eyes: A Fairy Tale by Molly Lazer
4.0
I am a sucker for fairytale retellings. I didn’t know what to expect by this one. I was attracted purely because it had fairytale in the title. This is a dark take on Cinderella, which is one of my favourites.
The story has some heart-wrenching moments at the beginning, which made me feel emotional as the reader. These only made me want to read more to find out what was going to happen next.
I enjoyed finding out as I continued reading how magical this book is. I wasn’t really rooting for the main character but I found her likeable enough. We see Nora grow throughout this book. The adventures and dangers keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.
This is a beautiful story of love, life and loss. Molly Lazer has created a range of characters with warmth, depth and whom seem real to the reader.
This is a well written and entertaining story and I have to admire Molly Lazer for being brave enough to twist one of the best Disney stories. I really enjoyed this book, I would recommend this to other readers. I am curious if there are any plans to retell any of the other classics- I would definitely be willing to read them.
