Burning Roses
by S.L. Huang
Final impressions:
• A compelling queer mashup of fairytales - featuring popular classics (Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Beauty and the Beast) and Eastern folklore (Legend of Chang'e).
• Morally challenged elderly characters seeking redemption.
• Takes place after the hero's journey (so to speak) and has dark undertones.
• Strong family themes - both toxic and healthy.
• A little confusing at times, but this queer-norm fantasy world is extremely fascinating and I want to explore more of it.
• Vivid prose and lush writing style.
• I'm very happy that I chose to listen to the audiobook. I think the narrator (Nancy Wu) did an amazing job at bringing the characters to life!
Recommended!
