Like with all collection of stories, I liked some and didn't care for others. Towards the end I started enjoying some of the stories more. There were a few really good ones, but the ones at the beginning I didn't like, and they made me not want to continue with the book. Once I got over them, I really breezed through the rest of them. They do a great job of feeling like fairytales. There was something classic about the way they were written. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Thoroughly entertaining read! It goes from easily identifiable re- telling of stories (I kind of liked these new versions of "Disney Princesses" and familiar but not as easily identifiable ones. I was thrilled by the combo Frankenstein/Dorian Gray mash up. And the "twice promised" story was excellent.I'd even like to read more about Aris. If you like your fairy tales easy, hard, and ranging from scary to sci fi to fun..this is your book. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Overall, I thought this was fairly done - the stories did improve in quality as they progressed, so the last few were definitely the best. They successfully evoked the sort of autumnal atmosphere that many of the best fairy tales provide.Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This was an interesting book that was a collection of short stories and the like. It was mostly retellings of fairy tales and such told in different and unique ways. I enjoy folklore and fairytales, but I had a hard time reading and getting through this book. The way that the stories were told and changed in the retellings and such just didn't click with me and I didn't like them much. If you like collections of short stories, fairy tales, and such and retellings of these types of stories, you might enjoy this, so feel free to check it out if that's your kind of thing. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I really appreciate the clarity of the prose in this book, and the playful retelling of familiar fairy tales and the reworking of fairy tale tropes. Several of these were real winners for me; Glowstick Girl as a retelling of the Little Matchstick Girl was a real gut punch of a story I can't stop thinking about. If I have any real criticism it's that, on the whole as a collection reading from start to finish, it felt a little disjointed. The book was divided into sections intended to give it some structure as you read through, which did help to frame these a bit better. Then again, maybe it's entirely apropos that reading straight through felt a little bit like getting lost in a strange woods.
"Welcome to the land where tales are told. There is a path unfolding in front of you, paved with words, leading into secret places -the dangerous, the remembered, the familiar, the unknown. Here you will find witches and princesses, monsters and familiars, coins made of silver and swords made of shadow, lost girls and travelling troubadours, promises made and broken, loss and laughter. The book you are holding is a key to the gate of that realm. Open the door. Go through." --Amazon. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
