A review by jesshooves
The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner

4.0

A Jewish fairytale part Goblin Market, part Leda and the Swan, a smidge Beauty and the Beast all rooted in fables and family history the author’s family passed down to her. It’s YA with a tangential romance plot; I really appreciated the rich storytelling textures most, though. [Also, I thought the standard interpretation of Goblin Market now is a queer reading of the “sisters’” relationship, so I was disappointed this story presents an exclusively heteronormative interpretation of that key influence.]
