Probably my favorite fairy tale retelling I've ever read!! Not only does Heather Walter remix Aurora into a queer feminist icon, but the evil sorceress gets a starring role with an epic backstory and a gray characterization that I was living for. This book is hella diverse, super quirky and fun, and pretty sexy too??? An all-around good time! I'm looking forward to the sequel and seeing more from this author.
