Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for providing me with an eARC.

This was a great collection of fairy tale retellings. I liked the way the endings were changed without affecting the main premise of the stories. But the final stories got a bit too preachy for me. I wanted more showing and less telling. I wasn't a fan of random modern day elements popping into the story for no reason at all when it was not necessarily a modern day retelling. This would be great for anyone looking for a collection of fairy tale retellings with a feminist touch.

I was provided with a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author and publisher for allowing me to read!

Feminine rage at its very finest. This is a collection of short stories, taking classic fairytales we know and love and challenging the “damsels in distress” arc. I was drawn to this book by its gorgeous cover and was delighted to find even more beautiful illustrations inside.

A quick read, but one not to be missed, especially if you’re bored of men always being the hero….
