A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
Finished Reading: February 12th, 2023
Format I read: Kindle, Owned
Rating: 4 out of 5
Main Characters: Zinnia Gray, Primrose, Charm
Favorite Quotes: "I used to see sleeping beauty as my wildest, most aspirational fantasy, a dying girl who didn't die, a tragedy turned into a romance. But suddenly I saw her as my - reflection: a girl with a shitty story. A girl whose choices were stolen from her."
Thoughts: At first it felt a little iffy, but the story grew on me exponentially. I fell in love with the strangeness, the supporting cast, and the fable twisted around to make something entirely unique. That our main character - Zinnia, didn't get some magical epiphany regarding the disease eating away at her. It felt real despite the magic.
