This was a great collection of tales that take our favorite stories and twist them up.
Retellings of our favorite childhood stories!
Not my favorite style of writing but very good overall!

All The Broken Blades is a delightful collection of short stories that span the genres of high fantasy, fairytale retellings, and an Arthurian legend parody to boot!
There’s a satisfying blend of love, death, betrayal, grief, and duty. I thoroughly relished ‘Dress of Ash’ and ‘The Lady of Butterflies,’ both set in the same world. I’m hopeful for more from this setting in the future!

An additional bonus that I particularly enjoyed was the story commentary at the end of the book, which offers valuable insights into Pang’s thought process as she wrote and compiled her stories.

I’ll be looking out for more of Pang’s work in the future!
Thank you to NetGalley and Myriad Flames for the opportunity to read this title.

4.5/5

This was a fantastic collection of tales that take our favorite stories and twist them up. Dark fairy tales, retellings of our favorite childhood stories adapted to our adult tastes. Well done.

I enjoyed the collection of short stories, there were I haven't read before as well as some more well known ones with a new twist on the classic tellings. I found some of them slower than others but each one I ended up enjoying. There were also dark and twisted moments mixed in with romance that explore different themes of each story.

I think the poetry aspects threw me as I usually don't read those types of books, I think this also had an impact on how I read each one, paired with the varying of length with each one. It's not my favourite type of writing style but I did like reading something that isn't my usual read.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC.

This is a short story and poetry collection that is mostly fairytale and myth retellings, but it also includes a lot of original world building.

The stories vary greatly in length. The writing style uses short snappy sentences and many of the stories are broken into lots of small parts. This was not my favorite writing style, but I did enjoy the ideas behind the stories.

The added story commentary at the end of yhe book is an interesting touch.

I'd recommend this to people who want to read interesting fantasy and fairytale retellings, but don't have time to get into traditionally very long fantasy books.
