White Cat, Black Dog by Kelly Link
3.0
These seven stories are retellings of existing fairy tales, only two of which I had heard of before. I love fairy tales and I love it when they get weird, but I found each story to be lacking. I was hoping this would scratch my itch for the bizarre, the grim, but they were either not weird enough or way too confusing. I enjoyed the writing in some stories more than in others.
If you are a huge fan of fairy tale retellings and short fiction, then I definitely think this is worth the read because it might just be the perfect kind of strange for you!
Here are my ratings for each story:
1. The White Cat’s Divorce – 3/5
2. Prince Hat Underground – 3/5
3. The White Road – 1/5
4. The Girl Who Did Not Know Fear – 1/5
5. The Game of Smash and Discovery – 2/5
6. The Lady and the Fox – 4/5
7. Skinder's Veil – 4/5
