A review by juliette_ariel
The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder
3.5
A gender bent sleeping beauty is such a great take on the tale. I am a sucker for retellings.
I will say thay I loved the concept of this book but it fell a little flat at times. Especially since the pacing was all over the place. There was a giant info dump at the beginning which I pushed through in hopes that I would just absorb it eventually.
I loved the representation in this book. It always makes my heart happy to see queer characters done well in young adult books. Also the characters themselves were quite fun and fully fleshed out.
Was this my favorite book? No. Would I recommend it? Definitely.
