Tangleweed and Brine by Deirdre Sullivan

5.0

This book is a lot of short stories all within one book, they are all fairytale retelling but on the dark side.

The story lengths are really nice they are just like long chapters to be honest. They flow together quite nicely and you don’t feel that they merge into one. The characters within each of the stories each have their part to the story and it’s nice to have a darker twist on not so famous fairytales.

The writing style of the book is just perfect it just flows so easily. The first few stories I thought were extremely fast past because they seemed to read like a poem. This was quite unusual and I wasn’t expecting it but I loved it at the same time.

On the other stories they were wrote like proper stories, but they were still fast paced. There wasn’t one story within this book that I disliked. There is also a meaning to each of the fairy tales to real life too which is what I like about fairy tales.

I’d definitely recommend reading this book if you like twisted fairytales, fast paced and just enticing characters.
