A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow

4.0

This isn’t my favourite Alix Harrow book, but it’s still an enjoyable read. It’s a retelling of sleeping beauty, my least favourite Disney princess. Mostly because it seems like Somnophilia to me, which is just creepy. I liked the play on why the heroine liked it though. In a world of fairy tale retellings though, why are they all beauty and the beast or Cinderella. Where’s my 10 million King Arthur, Mulan, Tiana, the little match girl, thumbalina. Basically give me some variety in fairy tales. At least this one did.
