The thing that I remember most distinctly about this book is the slight feeling that I may be outgrowing Lovelace’s collections.
I still think that there are valuable things that this book offered. It has a lot of important reminders and there were a few pages that I marked.
This was definitely better than Lovelace’s former release. It had more of a flow to it.
Lovelace had beautiful insight into creativity and the magic of storytelling in this collection. She reminds readers of their value in a way a true storyteller would.
Lovelace also addressed difficult topics in this collection with thoughtfulness (and provided trigger warnings). It felt like a safe book, written by someone who has been there.
However, I don’t think Lovelace’s books impact me quite the same way they used to. Regardless, I always find something of value in her beautifully illustrated collections.

Got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This didn't connect to me as much as Shine your Icy Crown. Again, relating to my review of the first book of the series, this is more like a post from social media instead of a poem that has depth. The second book has the same element but I enjoyed and related to it which is why I let go of that reason. But in this 3rd book, I can't seem to enjoy the writing of the author. I'm giving this 1.75 stars because the author never fails to know the importance of trigger warnings and the narration of her own book is great.
TW: Eating Disorders, Mental Illness, Self-harm, Sexism, Queerphobia, Death, Grief, Trauma and more.

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Audio for an ALC of this book.
Another amazing self-love poetry/fairy tale retelling narrated by the author.
Lovelace did it again. I absolutely loved all three of these books and am so glad this collection exists in the world. It has so many great lessons and is written so beautifully. Also these books are all supremely quotable! I feel like I could flip to a random page and point and I'd find a quote I love. This was amazing and I can't wait to have a physical copy.
