Faraway: Fairy Tales for the Here and Now by Gayle Forman, Nic Stone, Soman Chainani, Rainbow Rowell, Ken Liu
4.0
This is part of the Amazon Faraway Series, fairy tales retold with twists! I really enjoyed most of these and loved hearing stories told in a complete different way from the originals.
The Prince and the Troll - 5 Stars - Very topical for our modern times
Hazel and Gray - 4 Stars - A modern day Hansel and Gretel
The Princess Game - 5 Stars - So clever, even in the way the characters were named! Dark and not a typical fairytale at all but instead flips the narrative to show you a whole different kind of Disney Princes.
The Cleaners - 3 Stars - Probably the one I enjoyed the least.
The Wickeds - 5 Stars - My favorite of the bunch!! Story about the evil stepmothers made infamous by Disney told from their point of view. In the end, truly a story about mothers and daughters.
