Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
3.0
28/02/2025
3 ⭐
Okay, so I picked this up because the beginning of this book was in Naomi Novik's anthology Buried Deep and I really enjoyed it, and honestly I think that beginning part of this book was probably my favourite because once we got to the Fae world I got a little lost. I couldn't keep names straight or even keep track of the names I'd given the characters as placeholders and I don't know if it was just my brain not functioning at normal capacity or what, but tel me why it took me until just over the halfway point to realise that this is a Rumpelstiltskin retelling??? The book is literally called Spinning Silver???!!! Truly, the phrase 'no thoughts, head empty' was created just to refer to me.
Also, was someone going to tell me Naomi novik founded ao3 or was i supposed to just find that out myself on a random Tuesday???

It was such a rush to be back in the BBC Sherlock world and reliving the pilot episode but my god, why does almost every panel with Sherlock make it look like he hasn't got any teeth? Aside from that, this was so nostalgic!

Yeah... so I think I'm going to have to take a pause on this series for now. I was bored for most of this and then the ending put a bad taste in my mouth. Like, I'm so sorry that knowing a deaf person made your life hard but maybe get over yourself and don't blame everything on her??? Yeah, it's not the storyline for me.

I didn't read the blurb I just saw kitten and dog in the title so I truly had no idea what I was in for with this one. I didn't *love* this one but I did love seeing the animals!

"When the door thumped closed behind Zyll, she was greeted by the sharp silence that follows a beheading."
I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this but it was a really fun ride with fantasy Sherlock Holmes vibes and an interesting plot twist at the end!

This was a very quick read compared to vol 1 and full of miscommunication! I just wish that at least 2 people would be on the same page because there was a bit too much eye-rolling on my end.
