A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow
I really enjoyed the audiobook for A Spindle Splintered. I love a fairy tale re-telling and even though Beauty and the Beast is my absolute favorite, it was refreshing to read one about Sleeping Beauty. Zinnia pricks her finger on her twenty-first birthday and is transported to another world: Sleeping Beauty’s. Zinnia battles trying to save Sleeping Beauty while trying to manage her own health issues and get help from her best friend back home before her phone dies. Yes, it’s a modern re-telling, and while I did very much enjoy the story it is entirely too woke-feminist for me. Otherwise it would have easily been a five-star read. It is technically a novella but it didn’t feel like one to me.
I was given a copy of this audiobook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
